CREATIVITY

With Backbone Drum School you will learn to develop and improve muscular control, agility and coordination behind the drum kit so you are able to express yourself musically, in the most efficient way possible. 

You will learn to identify and play countless different rhythms, in order to develop your "musical ear" and expand your rhythmic vocabulary. This will allow you to express your musical ideas on the drums from a limitless abundance of possibilities and combinations.

At our drum school you will learn the fundamental drumming patterns that form the foundation to advanced and complex drum beats and drum fills. By honing these rudiments, our drum teachers will show your first hand how to play mind-blowing parts, while demystifying the wildest drum solos of your favourite drummers.

At Backbone Drum School we place a strong emphasis on musical literacy. We believe the ability to read and write music plays an important part in being a well-rounded musician. Not only that, but it also gives our students the ability to engage in self learning outside of the school and opens them up to more music related study and career opportunities in the future. 

All drum lessons at our school are centred around you or your child's favourite music. At our drum school, students will not only learn how to play their favourite songs; but will also learn the theory and mechanics behind those songs and what makes the drum parts so fascinating and memorable. 

With Backbone Drum School you will learn to how to fluently and authentically express yourself on the drum kit in a manner that is true to your own unique style as an individual. Your creativity and individuality will always be encouraged with us.
