DRUM LAB
Drum Lab is a very special class that brings drummers together!
​
It's special because it's not just a lesson or a class. It's an entire culture of exploration, curiosity, diving deeply into all things drumming and a lot of laughs!
​
BRAND NEW CLASS LAUNCH: DRUM LAB FOR BEGINNERS!
Every Wednesday at 5.15pm!
How Does Pro Drum Lab Work?
Train Like a Drummer. Not Like a Hobbyist.
​
Drum Lab is our weekly technique-focused workshop designed to build real control, real speed, and real musical confidence.
Every Tuesday, we strip things back and focus on what actually makes a great drummer:
Technique. Control. Sound. Time.
No fluff. No random songs.
Just structured progression.

WHO IT’S FOR
Drum Lab is for students who:
• Want to improve faster
• Feel stuck playing the same things
• Want better control, speed, and confidence
• Are ready to focus and put the work in
​
Not suitable for complete beginners.
This is a development environment, not an introduction.
​
WHY DRUM LAB WORKS (AND MOST LESSONS DON’T)
Most drum lessons focus on songs first.
That feels good short-term… but it creates long-term problems:
• Weak technique
• Poor control
• Inconsistent timing
• Plateau after 1–2 years
Drum Lab flips that.
We focus on what actually builds great drummers:
• Repetition with purpose
• Technique before complexity
• Control before speed
• Understanding before imitation
​
WHY MUSIC LAB
Music Lab isn’t built on guesswork.
It’s built on years of teaching, refining, and fixing the same problems students face over and over again.
​
We’ve seen what happens when students:
• Learn only songs
• Skip fundamentals
• Avoid technical work
They stall.
So we built a system that solves that.
​
What makes this different:
• Structured curriculum (not random lessons)
Every session is part of a bigger system.
• Technique-first methodology
We fix how you play, not just what you play.
• Group learning done properly
Students learn faster by seeing, hearing, and correcting together.
• Constant refinement
This programme has been shaped and improved over years — not thrown together.
PROVEN RESULTS
In the last three years, four Drum Lab students have gone on to study at top UK music institutions, including:
​
• Leeds Conservatoire
• LIPA (Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts)
• ICMP (Institute of Contemporary Music Performance)
This is what structured training produces.
WHAT YOU’LL ACTUALLY IMPROVE
After consistent attendance, students typically:
​
• Play with more control and less tension
• Develop cleaner, faster hands and feet
• Gain real dynamic control (ghost notes vs accents)
• Improve time feel and consistency
• Feel more confident and in control behind the kit
This is where students go from “playing drums” to actually playing properly.
​
HOW SESSIONS WORK
Each session includes:
• Structured warm-ups
• Targeted technical drills
• Application on the kit
• Group feedback and correction
• Weekly focus that builds over the month
Everything is designed to stack progress week by week.
LIMITED SPACES
To maintain quality, spaces are limited.
We don’t run overcrowded sessions.
Everyone gets attention. Everyone improves.
FINAL NOTE
If you’re serious about improving, this will change your playing.
If you’re not — this probably isn’t for you.
