 You don’t need to buy a drum set in order to take drum lessons. All you need is a cheap practice pad and sticks to get started. You will get time on the full drum set during your lessons and you can buy a drum set later on if and when you are ready. Our drum instructors are Scott Shafer, who is a Berklee School of Music Alumni, Darryl Pellegrini, who is a multiple Grammy Award nominated drummer who has a Master’s Degree from Manhattan School of Music and Dae Han of Honolulu Jazz Music School and who has 2 albums released under the Aloha Got Soul record label. These highly qualified and experienced instructors will patiently guide you through a step by step process in a positive and encouraging way. Students will know exactly what to practice at home each week and will have the resources and support they need at home to enhance their at-home practice time so that they can maximize efficient use of their lesson time and attain proficiency and mastery over time. Drum Set and Percussion Lessons revolve around the fundamentals of modern drumming, technique, rhythm and reading music notation through a variety of exercises such as paradiddles, drum beats, songs and transcriptions.
