Benefits of Drumming

Advantage of Private Lessons 
Although online learning may be popular, key technique points can be missed at a crucial stage of development. This incorrect playing could take years to undo and may pose potential health risks. Online learning is a great resource to supplement your lessons, however, particularly if learning from scratch, we highly recommend taking at least 4-6 months of private lessons at some stage to make sure your playing is as economical as it can be.
