Learn Drums by Playing Music

Drum lessons should feel like making music, not just practicing exercises. 

At DAMPA, students develop rhythm, coordination, technique and musicianship while learning songs and styles they actually enjoy. Every lesson is personalized around the student's experience, musical interests and goals.

More Than Weekly Drum Lessons


DAMPA students are part of a larger music community. As their skills grow, they have opportunities to take what they're learning beyond the lesson room — performing on stage, collaborating with other musicians and experiencing music in our professional recording studio.

The goal isn't just to learn how to play drums. It's to become a musician.
