Drum Nation is a multi-school operational drum school with its main campus located in Randburg Blairgowrie. Drum Nation offers drum lessons and drum tuition to any person seeking to learn or expand their skills on the drum kit. From the drum lover who has never held a pair of sticks before to the experienced drummer playing in his or her local community band. Beginners are always welcome here and advanced players are encouraged to come and sharpen their skills!
Drum Nation is a drum school that is solely focused on the drums. Not just giving the usual “drum lessons” like every other school. Our goal is to turn drummers into drummers who will shock people every time they play. It is important to us to have our students play like absolute killers on that drum kit. We want to see students playing exceptional grooves and chops at high speeds. We want to see power and aggression on the drumkit with a bucket load of confidence. We want our students to be able to get on any kit, on any stage and play to any genre with a skill level that is known by other professionals to be something truly spectacular.
At Drum Nation we believe fully that each drummer has his/her own dream or idea of how they would like to play, where they would like to play and why they want to play the drums. That is why at Drum Nation we focus on tailor making a student’s program to fit their goal, while incorporating all the essential skills they will need to know to become an all-rounded player. We practice and teach drumming as lifestyle rather than just an instrument you play. We believe fully in personalizing the lessons so that a student can find ultimate fulfilment in achieving their goals on the drum kit. From the student who just wants to use the drum kit in their lounge, to play to their favourite songs, to the student who wants to go the full academic route and achieve his/her Grade 8 in drumming.
At Drum Nation, a student’s program will depend on his or her own goals. We cater for students wishing to go the examination route, teaching primarily from the London Rock School Syllabus (Internationally Accredited); and we cater for students who just love playing the drums, or want to learn how to progress in their playing, technique, or local band. In all a student will learn what it means to be a drummer, to adopt the lifestyle of a drummer, and learn how to live with drums in your life.
Too often we encounter new students who are just completely disheartened, unencouraged and let down from their previous drum lessons. They have been playing drums for a couple of years now and still cannot play to their favourite song on their phones playlist. Isn’t that just the saddest thing you’ve ever heard!!!
Yet too often, if not every single time a disheartened student has joined the Drum Nation, they have left their first lesson filled with energy, excitement, optimism, and enthusiasm knowing that their dreams of becoming a drummer can finally come true! Not only do these students begin to play to their favourite song with good technique, on perfect time, and in full knowledge of what they are playing, but they begin to live proudly as drummers and with drums in their life.
We always aim to help all our students attain their desired goals, so that they can find the happiness they have been looking for in playing their instrument. Drumming is a lifestyle and here at Drum Nation you can learn what it means to be a drummer, and what it means to now live life as a drummer.
