Conceptual Learning
Learning drums could be accessible at the start, but without a proper understanding of the concepts, the journey might be short.
Through our 1 to 1 drum lessons, not only do we want you to be able to play the drums, but we also encourage you to understand the concepts behind the playing.
Only through understanding the concepts can you modify these exercises and techniques outside of your drum class and add it to your own. We want you to be able to play what feels comfortable for you and develop your sound eventually, and it is our mission to provide you with that platform at an affordable cost.
Ultimate Learning Experience
Now that you have learned the fundamental concepts in your drum class with us, we help you bring it to the next level through our Online Supplementary Classes (OSC).
A one of a kind platform, the OSC expands your imagination and application of the different techniques you have learned in class. You can revise your notations, learn engaging drum grooves, fills that go well in between your drum beats, and even songs to play along. We even have drum events that students can participate and win prizes through the platform on top of your regular drum lessons!

“To achieve metacognition in drumming and overcoming gross motor coordination challenges to drum along songs is wonderful.
I am glad to have the right coach for my drum entry, who is able to motivate and boost my confidence to scale new heights without compromising my learning pace. Dane has the aptitude and methodology, observant in correcting postures for my foundation, scaffolding till I acquire the necessary drum skills. It is awesome to have a coach who is generous in imparting skills and being encouraging always.”

“Dane is a really great teacher. He is precise with technique and timing, but is also very encouraging and patient. His friendly nature has an easy humour about him so we manage to have a lot of laughs too. I also like the pace of his classes and how it’s personalised to the student’s progress. I’ve had a lot of fun and enjoyed having him as a teacher.”
May – Ballerina
“Dane is a very good coach who is very patient with my child who is a complete beginner to drum. His method of teaching is very systematic and easy to understand. He monitored my child’s progress closely and adjusted the lesson to suit my child’s learning pace while managing to maintain my child’s interest in drum at the same time. I signed my child up for a week’s lesson with Dane while on a short vacation here in Singapore with the initial intention of just letting my child have some fun but thanks to his enthusiasm in teaching, my child has got so interested in drum and is considering to continue learning drum after going back to Japan.”

“When Léonard, my 9-year-old son, told me that he wanted to take drum lessons, we just arrived from the French part of Canada and we didn’t know the town at all. We met with a few teachers, but when Léonard spent his first hour with Dane, he didn’t want to look further. That was it! It was love at first sight! And it never faded. Léonard has been Dane’s student for more than a year now and he wouldn’t miss a lesson for nothing in the world. Dane is patient and creative. He knows how to communicate his enthusiasm and his great knowledge of music. His combined talent as musician and teacher provides him with the ability to motivate Léonard who not only learned how to play drums but how to read and understand music in a second language. Thank you for your amazing work, Dane. You are a Maestro!”
