Drum Lessons in the Blue Mountains

Welcome to the home page of Percussion Lab, a professionally equipped music studio and dedicated teaching space for people of all ages and current skill levels to learn drums. The lessons I offer are tailored to suit your individual wants and goals on the drums.

They are suitable whether you are a total beginner, or an experienced drummer looking to brush up on your technique. They are also suitable for all ages, for kids from the age of 8, up to teenagers, adults and beyond.

…If you are just starting out, or picking the drums back up after a long time not playing

The lessons are relaxed, and we go at your own pace. From them, you will learn how to:

  • Play confidently with correct hand technique.

  • Play and read a variety of rhythms on the drum set.

  • Jam and play music with others.

  • Develop coordination between your hands and feet so that you can play along to your favourite music comfortably and in time.

  • Good sound out of the drums and play with a nice feel, so that you can make even simple drum beats sound great.

  • Practice the drums at home so that you can start your progression.

…If you are a more experienced drummer

We look at developing specific areas of your playing to maximise your progression. This usually includes:

  • Playing rudimental snare solos to develop hand technique.

  • Applying rudiments to the drum set.

  • Improving sight reading and learn from a variety of classic drumming books.

  • Develop advanced hand-foot coordination and bass drum technique.

  • Learning to play advanced styles, such as jazz and latin music.

  • Learning to transcribe drumming from your favourite music.
