DurationGenerally, students need to be around 7 years old before they can learn the drums. All students will need a pair of drum-sticks – 7A’s. You don’t need a drum kit to start with, but it is definitely an advantage to have one to practice on during the week and a keen student will eventually need one.
They can be bought new, or second-hand on TradeMe etc. In the meantime, you can practice on a practice pad (around $20) or simply on the carpet or a cardboard box.
Students will learn to read drum music and learn the various beats, until they can perform a solo incorporating all the beats they have learned. Then they will move onto more advanced solos, and eventually be able to play with others in a band situation.
