Our private drum lessons are a comprehensive platform to help learn, improve and understand in detail your playing level by employing methods, tips and tricks used by leading drummers of the highest standard for many musical situations.
By this stage you should be up and running and playing the kit with a real sense of confidence. As part of your development we will be helping you play with more expression.
‘Dynamics’ is an aspect that a lot of drummers overlook until a much later stage of their development, this is something we try to teach early on to drummers so it becomes second nature.
Also at this level we can start to look at the complexity of the grooves and fills that we will have been using up to this point. Speed, accuracy, energy efficiency will all be factors.
As well as this we will start dipping into different styles of drumming. This will really help with defining your own style plus it will give both you, the student, and your tutor an idea of what direction you want to go in with your drumming and learning.
For those of you who are interested in reading music and taking exams we use the Rockschool syllabus. Phil has used this syllabus as both a tutor and student for nearly ten years, and achieved a distinction in his grade 8 exam in 2006.
With Rockschool, students not only learn to play in a number of classic and contemporary styles such as Rock, Funk, Country, Jazz and Latin, but can also explore Drum n Bass, Metal and Afro-Cuban to name a few. As well as this, students will have the opportunity to develop other important musical skills such as improvising, sight reading and listening (ear tests).
Students are given an opportunity to put all their hard work and practice to the test twice a year when Rockschool exams are held here in Belfast. Not only is this a positive step in building a students confidence, but can also provide vital experience for future exams or auditions etc.
Students are under no pressure to sit exams if they do not want to, and will not be entered for an exam until fully prepared. Rockschool helps lay an excellent foundation for anyone who either wants to play music for fun, or to pursue music as a career.
However, if you don’t want to read music or sit exams then do not panic, there are still loads of things we can do. You will be expected to practice, source music and rhythm ideas to work on at lessons, learn basic counting skills and learn simple rudiments like flams, drags and ruffs.
We can work on songs you know and love as well jamming over backing tracks we have compiled, or we can help develop your sense of timing by playing along with a click track or metronome.

Drums classes are offered by School Of Rox. At School Of Rox, you’ll find a creative and comfortable learning atmosphere located.
We use electric drum kits at the Academy, but you can also practice on an acoustic kit at home. We find that being able to plug a set of head phones into the electric kits makes them an attractive option at home!
Learning the drums to play solo or part of a band can be one of the most rewarding challenges we offer. While we mainly focus on rock basics our advanced students usually expand their styles to Funk, Jazz and Samba. Learning technical exercises are made fun from the very start.
