Drum Lessons Melbourne

Drum at your own beat with The SoundLab.

thesoundlab-drum-lesson

All ages, all abilities, all musical tastes. The SoundLab Melbourne offers personalised drum lessons in person or online lessons, to help you achieve your unique goals.

Whatever your current skill level, from beginner to advanced, we’ll level up your drum practice. Whether it’s learning drumming fundamentals in your first lesson or you’re diving back into playing the drums.

Our lessons are on high-end all-mesh electronic drum kits. For those looking for the acoustic experience, we also have hybrid kit options incorporating a snare and cymbals to get the full effect.

How we work with you

What are our methods?

Assessing your level - Beginner to advanced students

First, we assess your current level of playing ability and create a tailored program designed to teach you at the right pace, with the right objectives in mind.

Developing your skills - Private lessons & learning songs

Once we’ve assessed your drumming skill levels, we pair you with one of our expert drum teachers. They provide the knowledge, expertise and support you need to develop important skills and techniques, from beginners to advanced. We want you to be a complete musician capable of being a key member of a band, not just a technician who can play the drums by themselves. 

Applying your skills - playing guitar & live performance!

Once you've mastered an appropriate level of drums, we have the industry connections to help you achieve your musical ambitions whether that be in a band, onstage, composing soundtracks or writing your own songs. Want to show off your progress? At The SoundLab, we also host an end-of-year concert which gives you a chance to show off your new skills and meet like-minded people.

Drums by nature are meant to be heard in group
settings; it isn’t just about playing an instrument, it’s about being part of a musical community and working with a team.

Learn to play, your way – Drum Lessons Melbourne

What do I need to know?

Learn the songs you love

Whether you’re looking to walk in the footsteps of Ringo Starr or forge your own path with your own style. Before you head to your drum lesson, we encourage new students to think about what genre they’re most interested in playing. We know it’s easier and more enjoyable when we’re helping you learn the songs you love to listen to.

We've got you covered.

The SoundLab’s lessons are conducted electronically, our Drum Lab is decked out with state-of-the-art Roland TDK-11kV electronic drum kits. The electronic drums have mesh heads so they feel and respond just like acoustic drums, right in your headphones or our Drum Lab’s PA. Our kits are ready to rock, so if you don’t have an acoustic kit at home you can still get a feel for how an acoustic kit feels and how it projects sound in a room. Perhaps you’re a needing something to practise on at home? Visit our store!
