Group Lessons
Age of participants – 12+ (teenagers from 12 years old and adults). Our group drum lessons in Tallinn allow students of different skill levels to train together while receiving individualized instruction.
Each session includes:
-
Hands-on instruction with a teacher

Silent practice pads help maintain focus while allowing for precise execution of techniques without distractions. The primary goal is to build solid hand and foot technique, a key element for developing clean and controlled drumming.

Proper drum throne positioning, grip variations, and their applications

Gladstone & Moeller techniques and their use in real-world drumming

Rudiments: Singles, doubles, paradiddles, flams, and their application behind the kit
