DRUM LESSONS IN LONDON

Start with a taster lesson!

One-to-one drum lessons in London for all ages and levels. Located just 4 minutes from Highbury & Islington station, our school provides fully equipped studios where you can learn without needing a drum kit at home!

There’s a reason we’re called Planet drum. It all started with drums back in 1997, and for more than 25  years we’ve helped London drummers of every age and ability master one of the world’s most versatile instruments. Our fully‑equipped practice rooms, experienced tutors, and concert rehearsals give you everything you need to progress.

"Our drum lessons cover technique, reading notation, musicianship, and band practice. We’ll show you how to become the backbone of a band and the beating heart of every song".

Every new drummer begins here. Book a Taster Session to meet your tutor, try our twin‑kit studio, and set clear goals.
