Drums Lessons in NYC, 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. It's easy to get left behind in a class with other students. When you take private drum lessons your teacher knows you better and can assist you directly with learning drum technique.

Student Reviews
I took lessons with Frankie this year, and due to the economy had to stop, and I was bummed. I love his approach to starting you out right from the notes and getting you to understand the guitar in all aspects. He has a gentle soul, which helps when you are learning and keep making mistakes! I would highly recommend Frankie for anyone looking to learn or better their playing!

A drum kit (or drum set or trap set) is a collection of drums, cymbals and sometimes other percussion instruments, such as a cowbell, wood block, chimes or tambourines, arranged for convenient playing by a single drummer.
