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.

Commonly Asked Questions
Yes, you can! Talent only brings a small part of the drum learning process to the table. The most crucial factor in learning drums is hard work!
Through our experience over the years of drum lessons with countless students ranging from 5 to 60-year-olds, we concluded that ALL students can learn the drum if you work hard enough!
Not all students progress the same, and if you are confident in building your pathway, you might not need someone to guide you. However, if you have been stuck on a plateau and find yourself thinking there’s nothing much to learn anymore, we highly encourage you to book a trial and talk to any of our professional instructors to show you otherwise. Drums, as with any craft, is a never-ending process of learning.
For experienced students, we typically investigate shortfalls, idea generation, and phrasing and throw some ideas to inspire you to move in a particular direction.
We will be assessing:
- Drum Notation reading
- Current coordination level
- Current Speed level for varying drum exercises
- Comprehension of the fundamentals (drum rudiments, different drum concepts, etc.)
Learning drums can start at any time! It does not mean that you will be at a disadvantage if you did not take drum lessons at a young age. Students in different age groups have different types of difficulties that they face. The more mature adult will often progress faster in class than kids; this is due to the understanding of the need to have discipline while learning a new skill.
On the other hand, kids are more agile but are lacking in discipline. We structure our lessons to make it easier for them to understand while being enjoyable, allowing them to focus in class while instilling discipline.
With our focus solely on your drums lesson, you can rest assured that anyone you talk to in our team is well versed in the subject; this also allows us to focus and bring out the best in our syllabus.
Being a specialized drum school also allows us to bring more drums related resources and events to you, both in class and in our OSC platform.

Testimonials
“Dane is a fun and friendly drum teacher who teaches very clearly. He is able to explain well when presenting the lesson or answering question. He is always willing to share his music knowledge and tips that the student needs.
He always encourages his students to keep practicing as that¡¯s the key for the improvement but he won’t stressed you out as he teaches every student according to his/her speed. Take a drumming class with Dane and you¡¯ll have an effective and enjoyable class!”
Bonita – Flight Attendant
“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.”
Christina – Educator
“Dane is a very patient and encouraging teacher . He make the lesson very interesting and enjoyable for my boy . He is also very helpful and willing to explain to me the notes so I can guide my boy at home. I would definitely recommend Dane to anyone who is keen to take up drum lesson.”
May – Senior Financial Advisor
“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.”
Kasumi’s Father
“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!”
