Learn to Play Drums
Our drum lessons in Adelaide focus on helping you become a confident and musical drummer. You'll learn how the different parts of the drum kit work together, develop your timing and coordination, and understand how your playing fits with bass, guitar and vocals.
Lessons can cover everything from basic drum kit technique, rhythms and grooves through to rudiments, fills, independence, dynamics, improvisation and playing along with songs. As you progress, you can explore more advanced techniques, reading, arrangement and performance.
Rock & Metal Drum Lessons
Rock and metal are a major part of ARMI's musical identity, making our Adelaide music school a great environment for drummers who want to explore heavier styles.
You can explore rock, heavy metal, punk, hard rock, progressive metal, thrash, modern metal and metalcore, depending on your interests and experience.
Whether you want to develop powerful rock grooves, fast double-kick patterns, tight metal rhythms, complex progressive parts or energetic fills, your lessons can be built around the music you actually want to play.
Our teachers can also help you develop skills such as playing to a click track, improving speed and endurance, and keeping your playing tight and consistent.
Drum Lessons for Beginners
Never played drums before? No problem.
Our drum teachers work with complete beginners as well as experienced players. Beginners can start by learning how to hold the sticks, develop basic technique, understand rhythm and coordination, and play simple beats, fills and complete songs.
As your confidence and ability grow, lessons can progress into more advanced techniques, musical concepts, improvisation and performance.
Drum Lessons for Kids, Teenagers & Adults
ARMI welcomes children, teenagers and adults, with lessons adapted to suit each student's age, experience, musical interests and goals. Younger students can develop coordination, rhythm, listening skills and confidence while keeping lessons engaging and musical. Teenagers and adults can work towards specific songs, techniques, styles, performances, bands or personal musical goals.
Whether you're learning for fun or working towards something more serious, your lessons can grow with you.
Learn the Music You Love

Tell your teacher what you want to play and they'll help you work towards it while developing the skills that will make you a better drummer. Whether you're into Metallica, Slipknot, Black Sabbath, Foo Fighters, Nirvana, Green Day, Tool, Deftones, Iron Maiden, Pantera or something completely different, your lessons can be tailored around your musical interests.
