Do you live near Malmö and want to learn how to play drums?
Are drums something you've always been curious to learn? Or maybe you can already play but are in need of teacher support to move forward? Then Malmö Music School is just the right place for you! Here you get the chance to either learn to play drums from scratch or deepen your existing knowledge further. Our drum teachers have a great genre width and want to give you the opportunity to take your game to the next level. We will start from what dreams and goals you have with your game and then be able to coach you so that these can be fulfilled. The teaching takes place individually and you as a student get great opportunities to work creatively with your drum game through individual supervision.
During your drum lessons in our course, we will work with:
- Instrument knowledge: You will learn the basic knowledge about e.g. names of the different cymbals and drum parts, drum logs and how to tune and adjust a drum kit. We will also talk about practice plates that make up a big part of learning to play drums.

- Fills: Together with your drum teacher, you will work on how you can insert fills between your drumming.

- Improvisation: We will go through how you can use your knowledge of different rhythms, comps and fills to improvise.
- Play songs: Of course, we will engage in song games as a large part of the teaching.
- Write your own comps and fills: You will learn and practice writing your own drumming and fills for different types of music.
