Drums Lessons in Midtown, NY
(212) 537-6746
In a lot of ways, having one-on-one drum lessons with a private teacher beats taking them in a class. Sometimes in a class you can get left behind. With one on one drum lessons your teacher gets to know you on a more personal level and can help you directly with your practice of drum technique.

On June 13th this year, students got an opportunity to play the drums in front of an audience.

Student Reviews
Jon is a very patient instructor and a genuine pleasure to work with. He is very accommodating with the time that novices like myself need when practicing. He has a wealth of knowledge that is more than eager to share with you. Always a pleasure!
Ameet Barve - NYC, NY Teacher: Jon D.About the Drums
The individual instruments of a drum kit are struck by a variety of implements held in the hand, including sticks, brushes, and mallets. Two notable exceptions include the bass drum, played by a foot-operated pedal, and the hi hat cymbals, which use a foot pedal in addition to the normal striking motion.
