Drum lessons in London
Our drum courses in London will equip you with solid performance skills, covering key areas of technique, reading, general musicianship and band practice.
Music courses for beginner to advanced students
We also offer one-to-one piano, guitar, bass, singing and sax courses. Our spacious music studios are close to Highbury and Islington station, near central London. There's no better place to start playing music or continue your learning.
North London's best music school, great vibe and great people - Amanda Couper, amateur singer.
Planet drum really has an awesome feel to it. The rooms are very funky and the teaching and facilities are top notch - Robert Brian, pro drummer (Peter Gabriel, Simple Minds).
As we're Trinity College London's main Rock & Pop exam centre, you can take the optional exams right here at Planet drum.
I love my guitar lessons with Vladimir, the band practice is great too - John Willes, jazz guitarist.
Before you enrol on one of our music courses, come along for a taster lesson. We'll advise you on the best options for your learning and progress.
We are back in the states now, and wanted to thank you and your staff for your hospitality and assistance in arranging the week of lessons for Aki. He very much enjoyed working with the teachers, and received some great feedback and instruction. Wish you had a branch in NYC :-)
