Playing loud is fun but...
Did you know about the many great inventions that allow a drum student to:
PRACTICE QUIETLY?
For an Acoustic (regular) Drum kit:
a) "Blasticks" - plastic sticks with a thick brush-like tip that make a soft sound when they strike the drum skins and cymbals.
b) Practice pads - thick rubber pads that can be placed on top of the drum skins, on a coffee table, on your lap, etc... OR they can be attached to stands instead of drums! (a whole lot cheaper than a real kit)
c) Sound-off pads - special rubber keyhole-shaped pads that can be attached to the cymbals where you hit them, preventing the cymbal from ringing.
Electronic Drums:
a) Connected to an amplifier, you can control the volume and play with all kinds of funky electronic sounds.
b) Can be played while listening through earphones.
YES, All of these things can be seen here and ordered through us!
Ask us about our Rock Band S'Cool, where guitar, bass, drum and voice students learn to jam in a safe and structured environment.

Practice Tip of the Week;
December 16, 2024: Practicing at home with your eyes closed allows you to turn off one of your senses, thus, increasing your awareness of touch and sound. This will help with physical memory as well as make you listen more carefully.
Please enjoy this video (below) of some of our Rock Band S'Cool students performing at our annual Spring Gala.
