Pick a week, bring a pair of sticks if you have them, and play with other drummers every day.

Pads, grip and a steady count for beginners.
Five mornings on the practice pad and the school's kits. Students learn to hold the sticks, play single and double strokes and count aloud, and end the week with a short play-through for families on Friday.
A beat you can keep, from a slow rock groove to a shuffle.
Students build three or four grooves on the kit, play along with a metronome and take turns counting the band in. Friday ends with a play-through for families.
Drummers play with a bass and a guitar for the first time.
Teens who already play a groove learn to listen to other players, start together and finish together. The week ends with a short set for families on Friday.
For adults who always wanted a kit.
Four evenings on the pad and the kit, starting from the very beginning. Nobody needs to have touched a stick before, and Thursday ends with a play-through for friends.
Hand drums, shakers and mallets, together.
Students play hand drums, shakers and mallet instruments in a circle, learn to pass a rhythm around the group and end the week with a circle for families on Friday.
Fills, endings and a longer set.
Returning students learn to move around the kit in time, move into a new section with a fill and play a longer set with other players on Friday.
Nothing matches that filter.

A week
Pad work, a new groove or a new part each day, and time on the kit with a teacher beside you.
Playing together: students follow each other's counts and practice starting and finishing as a group.
A short play-through for families, in the kit room, with earplugs for anyone who wants them. Nobody has to play.
