Our Leicester Drum School – A Brief history:

Our Leicester drum school first opened its doors in 2009. Since then, we have provided a thriving hub for new and established drummers from all around Leicestershire – and beyond! During the lockdown years of the pandemic, we moved to exclusively online teaching. This change of educational landscape brought changes and the development of completely new approaches for online learning. This fed back into our live one-to-one drum tuition systems and when the doors reopened in 2021, we re-doubled our teaching approaches and aims, and, furthermore, saw the landmark celebrated of 25,000 drums lessons!

Fantastic Drumming Workshop for Beginners in Leicester!

What an absolute pleasure it was to host the HHCiB (‘How Hard Can it Be?’) U3A group at Dye House Drum Works this week, where Lee Allatson was on hand to facilitate a one hour workshop for seven participants at the studio.

From the simple act of clapping together in unison, we explored rhythmic concepts of synchronisation, syncopation and subdividing the pulse, then moved onto the full kit: Two groups battled with 3-way coordination and independence using the bass drum, snare drum and hi-hats. We discussed ways of developing basic rhythms using alternate sounds on the drum set – always referencing how these different timbres and textures affected outcomes. It was a lot to fit into an hour, but judging by the smiles, laughter, dancing – and the successes in the playing – everyone had a great time!
