About Us
Our Beginning
Having our first drum lessons in 2010, DrumTannery was formed to provide a holistic education platform for students interested in the craft to learn, grow and develop themselves to a sustainable, self-reliant level of learning and playing on the drums.
Building on our students’ success and referrals, we decided to expand our operations in 2021 due to the persistent demand throughout the years. We launched our Dhoby Ghaut (Near Orchard Road) branch in 2021, with all openings fully taken up within six months, even amid the pandemic. The subsequent flagship branch was then born in Marine Parade (Near Katong, Marine Parade) in 2022.
With our concept-based learning approach, we arm students with a fundamental understanding of the instrument while providing them space and inspiration, allowing them to develop and grow into their own unique drummer.

Our Mission
Providing the most comprehensive education and support to our students drumming journey; to grow and develop our drumming community.
Learning a craft is never-ending, and us providing the pathway and tools necessary for the student to grow and flourish as a competent drummer is only half the work done. Most importantly, we aim to spur our students’ interest and motivation to be better drummers through active support and participation in our local drumming community.

The DrumTannery Experience
Bespoke Learning Process
Throughout our propietary learning progress, your instructors will identify weaknesses and construct roadmaps custom to your capabilities and preferred learning direction, ensuring a fun learning experience while deeply understanding the topic.
Your instructors will help you develop a solid foundational understanding of the theory before building on each skill set, slowly inching you toward your goal. You will find that these foundational bases often crossover with different skill sets and are essential for further understanding of other topics as well as advanced subjects.
We will guide you through tying up information with a structured learning process and modifying these techniques and concepts to fit your favorite songs to ensure an enjoyable but fruitful journey to being a drummer.
Understanding the Workings Behind Each Exercise
(Concept-Based Learning)
Learning is not always a linear process. Through our years of experience in the field, we have developed our unique syllabus – focusing on developing deep conceptual knowledge as a base for you to grow and develop toward your desired pathways with the guidance of our trained instructors. Having solid fundamentals, identifying weaknesses, and developing your ability to rectify them is your key and most effective learning progress.
Never play another exercise blindly again when you join us.
Highly Trained Full Time Instructors
Our most valued component of the school is our instructors. Maintaining a small but committed team is essential to delivering our quality. Hand-picked by our management from a pool of applicants, we screen each applicant from their playing, understanding of fundamental knowledge, delivery, attitude, and empathy. They then undergo months of onboarding program to ensure that our values and approach are aligned, and that they know the inner workings of our syllabus, and our goals for our students deeply.
We conduct constant reviews and consultations to help instructors navigate different situations and share their experiences with colleagues. Our commitment to you is to grow the team and deliver results at every level, for every student.
Professional Live Drums Learning Setup
In a small and compact environment like Singapore, acoustic drums are often replaced by electronic drums or fitted with low-volume modifications (mesh heads/low-volume acoustic cymbals, etc.). The whole acoustic drum experience is not accessible to most people.
These solutions are great for home practice needs but significantly differ in rebound and feel compared to the acoustic drumset, which presents a problem when used by beginners to learn without proper guidance. Playing and understanding the full dynamic range of the drumset is critical in developing proper techniques that would help the student immensely to navigate through the instrument’s rebound, touch, nuances, and to feel the full effect of the drumset – that is something that we will not compromise.
With those in mind, the location of our branches are carefully selected and professionally soundproofed for us to house these drumsets to provide you with the whole experience.
*We provide ear protection in each room for you to enjoy the full dynamics of the drums while protecting your hearing.
The Bose Experience
While playing on our top-of-the-line drumsets can be highly satisfying, we complete the whole learning experience by installing professional sound systems by Bose Professional. Dramatically improves the music’s clarity and simulates a live sound experience for you to immerse yourself in your playing.
