Drum Lessons

Drums are at the heart of every band.
Learn to play like the pros.

We managed Chad Smith from Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Want to play drums like him?

Drum lessons,
tailored just for you

Whether you are a beginner, or you are a long-time drummer looking to take your playing to a higher level, Rock This Way – School of Rock is the place for you! We build each lesson based on your skill level, and favorite artists & styles of music.

Jam with your teacher

Most music schools teach you elements of playing an instrument and you never learn to play with other people. All our drum instructors are multi-instrumentalists, so you’ll learn to jam with guitar or piano right from the first lesson!

Learn whole songs.
Not just rudiments.

We take you through a modern, song-oriented approach to drumming that prepares you for the real world today, not the theoretical world of yesterday.

The best instructors around

Our drum instructors know what it takes to perform on stage in a band, and in the recording studio. Many have toured the world playing music, and now want to pass that experience on. But musical talent isn’t enough for RTW standards; all of our instructors are warm, caring people who connect with both kids and adults.
