Drum Lessons

Picture
Detroit’s school of drums and percussion is right here in Rochester, Michigan. We have not one, but THREE professional drum rooms complete with 2 drum kits, electronic & acoustic drums, marimbas, tympani, marching drums and more! Another reason why we excel in drum & percussion education. Our Drum instructors are not just Drummers. They are Percussionists with not only the desire, but also the ability to teach all styles of drumming at all levels. Rock-Metal- Jazz-Funk- Blues-Concert- Drum Line and many more! Drum language can be complex and our instructors will challenge any drummer with a wide variety of technical exercises designed to improve your speed and comfort. All drummers bring in their favorite drum parts to learn in their lessons and theory is encouraged. We have many drum students who play in local bands be it in rock clubs or their local churches. You do not have to purchase a drum kit to take lessons. In fact, we RENT Percussion Kits for school band, and Drum Sets to our students. We also have new and used sets for sale! As well as practice pads, sticks, and everything you'll need to get started. Check out jcdrums.com

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
​
WHAT WILL I LEARN IN DRUM LESSONS?

Our drum teachers understand that every student is an individual, with personal musical needs and goals. We make it a priority to tailor how we teach and what we teach to your individual​ needs.

If you enroll here for drum lessons, your teacher will ask you about your favorite type of music, and set goals to help accomplish whatever musical aspirations you have for yourself or your child. Together, you will develop a plan to achieve your goals! We love beginners, so even if you don't know where to begin, we are the ones that can help!

WHAT STYLES OF MUSIC CAN I LEARN?
We teach all styles from rock, pop, jazz, country, worship, blues and classical. We combine the important fundamentals with the music YOU want to play. With 4 instructors per instrument, you are sure to find the best match for YOU.

ARE YOUR DRUM INSTRUCTORS QUALIFIED?
We were founded by Detroit's Drum Guy, Joe Chila. We search for those who
are best qualified for mentoring our music students! Our instructors are highly qualified, all have teaching experience, and most importantly, they have a passion for teaching.

​
 Most importantly, our instructors strive to relate their teaching to each individual student's learning style. Many of our instructors have gone on performance tours of the USA and Europe and have years of professional performance and teaching experience. In addition to their teaching credentials, our teachers have warm personalities, are extremely friendly, and strive to get to know each student and their parent on a personal level. We search high and low for the BEST teachers, so you don't have to!

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO LEARN TO PLAY DRUMS?
There is no set answer of how long it takes to learn to play drums. With regular practice a basic level of playing can be accomplished in a year or 2. Most of our students take lessons on a long term basis because they want to be constantly improving and they find the lessons enjoyable.

I DON’T HAVE ANY MUSICAL BACKGROUND OR ABILITY. CAN I STILL HELP MY CHILD PRACTICE? 
Possibly. Even if you don't have a musical background you can ask the teacher for advice on how to help your child practice. We recommend you monitor your child's practice. Make sure they are doing exercises a certain number of times per day.  They will progress. Parents will occasionally sit in on their child's music lesson to get an idea of the proper way a song should sound or how the student should be positioning their hands.
