Learning drums at Drum Tutor was the best decision made. The team of teachers are very nice and helpful. The drum studio is also very well equipped.

Matthew Siva is my drum teacher now, and he is very patient in guiding me throughout all my drum lessons with him. Siva doesn't pressure me to move forward. He encourages me to move forward at my own pace and time - which was key! Everyone learns differently and at a different pace.

I look forward to my drum class every week! Thank you Drum Tutor for being so patient and kind, and thank you Siva was for always inspiring us all in becoming a better drummer!
Drum Tutor has consistently set a high bar for drum education in Singapore. Over the last several years, I’ve been thoroughly impressed by the caliber of international artists they bring in—ranging from early YouTube pioneers to academic powerhouses and world-class touring drummers.
Their strategic international partnerships with top-tier music institutions, such as the Musicians Institute (MI) in Los Angeles, truly differentiate them. These collaborations have provided invaluable opportunities for local and regional drummers to learn from the best, stay inspired, and build global connections.
These workshops are more than just lessons; they are vital community-building events. It’s heartening to see retail businesses collaborating to strengthen the local music fraternity. The events are always professionally handled—from the marketing and signage to the program flow. Each masterclass has left me personally inspired and provided a fantastic space to reconnect with fellow musicians. I look forward to many more of these quality events.

This is hands down the best drum school in Singapore. I've been a student for the past 4-5 years. Educator Jiaxing is very attentive and sharp at catching my weaknesses and giving me the right exercises to overcome them. Being a totally uncoordinated person, I was initially afraid to get started on drums as an adult but hearing how they even have senior citizens as students, I decided to give it a try. I found so much joy in learning new techniques and getting to practice them on new songs every week. The school curriculum is very well-designed, with a lot of supplementary resources to support our learning: from textbooks to Spotify playlists for practice to having an app for us to reschedule classes to suit my work schedule to having a very prompt customer support team. I am very grateful to have crossed paths with My Drum School. I would give it 6 stars if I could.

As an adult with dyslexia and ADHD, I was always apprehensive and curious about learning the piano. One day I decided to walk into Aureus to give it a shot. I'm so grateful that Teacher Siaw Yee was assigned to me. She was ever so patient and kind. There were some days where I couldn't even play a single note but there was never a hint of frustration. Only encouragement. I have stopped learning after 6mths due to work commitments. But thanks to Siaw Yee, I fell in love with the piano and will definitely resume piano lessons again in the future.

Also huge thanks to the front desk for always being super accommodating to this troublesome fella. Always service with a smile. Cheers

I would like to give a shoutout to Teacher Monica, who took over my daughter's musical learning in Music Exploration after her former teacher left without prior notice. Teacher Monica was warm and welcoming during our first meeting and made an effort to understand how much my daughter already knew and where her interests lie. Over the weeks, Teacher Monica has demonstrated tremendous patience and encouragement as she guided my daughter through both the theory and practical components of each lesson.

It is evident that Teacher Monica strongly believes in authentic teaching, engaging young children with fun, hands-on materials to make learning theory enjoyable while honing practical skills with musical instruments. I greatly appreciate this approach, as it made every session fruitful for my daughter. Her patience with young children is truly commendable.

Furthermore, on days when we arrived early, Teacher Monica could be seen practicing on the piano, demonstrating the importance of dedication and continuous self-improvement to bring out the best in her teaching.

Teacher Monica is truly one of the best music teachers we’ve met so far! Thank you, Teacher Monica, for your dedication and commitment to inspiring your students and sharing your passion with them.

DrumTannery is hands-down the place to learn drums, and I’m super lucky to have Stephanie as my instructor! She breaks down complex rhythms into simple terms, teaches with incredible patience, and makes every lesson fun, engaging, and rewarding.

She has a great sense of humor and effortlessly switches between Mandarin and English, which makes learning so much easier and enjoyable. Being bilingual myself, I find it easy to communicate with her and grasp her explanations quickly. Stephanie is not only knowledgeable and professional, but she also genuinely cares about her students’ progress, celebrates every milestone, and inspires confidence behind the drum kit. Her lessons keep you motivated, excited, and always looking forward to the next session.

Highly recommend to anyone wanting a supportive, fun, and top-notch drumming experience! 🥁

I’m truly glad to have chosen DrumTannery as the place to begin my drum learning journey. The setup for classes is excellent, and the management is well-organized. Practice rooms are also available.

My teacher, Marco, is not only kind and inspiring but also teaches with his own unique music philosophy, one that carries life wisdom beyond just drumming. What I appreciate most about his classes is that they feel like more than just music lessons; they are a form of meditation, a way to step away from the hustle and bustle of daily life and let music flow through my mind and body.

I highly recommend DrumTannery to anyone looking to learn the drums!

I had the pleasure of learning drums under Josh, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. From the very first trial lesson, he made me feel at ease with his warm and friendly approach, which played a huge part in my decision to sign up.

Josh strikes a rare balance, his carefree and joyful nature creates a comfortable learning space, but he also holds firm standards. He doesn’t just let things slide, he ensures I meet the mark and continue growing. He gives honest, constructive feedback and pays attention even to the smallest details, which helps me build a strong foundation with the correct techniques from the start.

What stands out most is his adaptability. Josh takes the time to understand my personal drumming goals and weaves them into each lesson, making every session both relevant and engaging. His versatility as an instructor keeps me motivated and excited to learn.

His dedication is evident in the way he teaches, with genuine passion, heart, and soul. He consistently pushes me when needed and encourages me to strive for better. Thanks to him, I’ve not only progressed but also found joy and purpose in a hobby I’ve wanted to pursue for the longest time.

I truly appreciate Josh for being more than just a drum instructor. He is a mentor who takes real pride in what he does, and constantly motivates me to do better.

i really enjoy having weekly group lessons at drum tannery for the past year (and one month)! as an adult with no music background, signing up was intimidating but yes decided to jump in together with a friend (thanks friend!)

From the start, the admin team was incredibly responsive and prompt when we reached out to schedule ad hoc drum lessons in preparation for the exams. They were very accommodating to our busy schedule, which was greatly appreciated!

Harnithaa joined Drum Prodigy when she was 6 years old with her interest in music and drums.I went to two places for trial but i didn't really like as it was more about fees and fame than teaching and making the learning interesting for them✌️

Through a parent's referral, i brought her for a Trial at Hougang and Sham Bro is the one who did the assessment for her and suggested. Without fail, i enrolled her in and she njoys alot and look fwd to go for the classes every Thursday with Teacher Naz and him teaching her very patiently and gives feedback at the end of the lesson to practise on the pages and what to work on to😊

Another Reason i loved it cause the drum lessons are conducted for Special Need Children too which made me love this center alot too🥰

Last Year, she participated the Rhythm Nation 6 and its her first time being in the stage and she was part of the drumline and played drums for the BGM from Pirates of Carribean with other kiddos and she had a great exposure and also i was surprised and happy that she played confidently with no stage fear😊🥳My whole family was very happy to see her reach at this level and am looking fwd to more concerts for her to gain more exposures and experiences like this❤️

To Sham,Jini,Teacher Naz and the entire team of DP,you guys are doing a great job as its not easy to handle kids and i would like to say thank you so much for the love and support given to Harnithaa and have no regrets in putting her in this center and will continue to give the constant support through out and keep it up guys👏❤️

Appreciation Post:
Thank You Sham, Jini, Teacher Naz and the entire team of DP for organising this wonderful concert of Rhythm Nation 6 with all the little drummers and voulnteers👏🏼🥳.It's my first concert and njoyed thru out the entire show with my family especially my dad who loved and njoyed all the old retro songs especially the song from Rocky and Saturday Night Fever.🩷🥰My sister even considering putting the lil one in Bunnybeats😅I thought Harnithaa gonna have stage fear but all the kiddos including her did a great job👏🏼🩷 The superheros AI Drummers😍 It was awsome🩷 Looking forward for another one next year and keep going😎❤️‍🔥
Anish has been with Drum Prodigy Singapore since 2023 and we had the opportunity to perform at their annual inclusive recital – Rhythm Nation 6 last November. What a mind-blowing night it was! We were greeted by phenomenal energy from the performers, regardless of their age and it was so heartwarming to see so much of effort being put into the planning and performance! Sham, Jini and team nailed this big time and to date we can’t stop looking back at the pictures and videos. A truly memorable experience that will stay etched in our minds. Great job everyone! We’ve never regretted moving Anish to this reputable music school. Looking forward to 2024’s events and recital!
I have had the pleasure of teaching drums at Drum Prodigu, and it has truly been a rewarding experience. The school’s commitment to musical education is evident in every aspect of its operation.

From the well-equipped drum studios to the knowledgeable and supportive staff, Drum Prodigy provides an ideal environment for both students and instructors. The emphasis on technique and musicality ensures that students not only learn to play drums proficiently but also develop a deep understanding of rhythm.

The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, catering to students of all skill levels. I appreciate how the school encourages creativity, allowing each student to explore their unique drumming style. The group lessons foster a sense of community, while private sessions provide personalized attention for individual growth.

After months of self-practice on the drum, I decided to do a trial with David. Very pleased with the session when David pointed out the areas I require improving, which I totally agree. Decided on the spot to take up lessons and build up my basic foundation with David.

Updated:
Done 7 sessions with David and enjoyed every sessions with new challenges and improvement to my coordination. Always look forward to the next lesson.

Joy music is our daughter’s first music class. Teacher Siti is amazing and I can see improvement in her singing and identifying notes. The staff was worried when she missed too many lessons and even arranged alternate classes for free. Would absolutely recommend Joy music to all parents with young children!

How to Choose the Best Drum Option for Your Child

  • Starting age fit: Check the minimum age for each programme so your child joins the right level.
  • Beginner-friendliness: Look for lessons that introduce basics in small, clear steps.
  • Teaching style: Find out if lessons are structured or flexible and choose the style your child responds to.
  • Instructor experience: Ask about teachers’ backgrounds, especially if your child may want graded exams or performances.
  • Attention level: Decide between one-to-one, small group, or larger classes based on how much individual feedback your child needs.
  • Lesson content: Confirm what skills are taught, such as coordination, reading notation, and various rhythm styles.
  • Use of equipment: Make sure you know if lessons use acoustic kits, electronic kits, or both.
  • Sound and comfort: Check whether studios are sound-managed or provide headphones for sensitive children.
  • Learning environment: Visit studios for cleanliness and a calm, focused atmosphere.
  • Progress pathway: Prefer centres with clear grades or performance milestones if you want measurable goals.
  • Confidence-building: Ask about recitals or concert opportunities to help your child perform in public.
  • Exam options: If exams matter, choose a centre that specifically prepares students for them.
  • Pace of lessons: Make sure teachers can adapt the tempo of learning to your child’s needs.
  • Child’s personality: Match the teaching approach to whether your child is shy, outgoing, or easily distracted.
  • Special learning needs: Confirm the centre’s ability to adapt lessons for diverse learning requirements.
  • Scheduling flexibility: Check for weekend or after-school slots and make-up lesson policies.
  • Fee clarity: Compare all costs, including registration, deposits, and trial lesson fees.
  • Trial lessons: Take a trial lesson to see how your child responds before committing.
  • Long-term interest: Choose a programme that keeps your child engaged so they enjoy learning over time.

It has truly been a blessing to find Mr. Tan Tiam Teng as my son’s Chinese tutor. He is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated—qualities that have made a huge difference in my son’s learning journey. My Primary 4 son has shown remarkable improvement in his Chinese since starting lessons, and we are so grateful for the progress.
