"Drumpad" Class
Rhythms & Basics
This is where most students start-
It's an easy, bite-sized way to try out drumming with minimal inexpensive equipment
You don't need the whole "drum set" yet, you can just get a practice "drumpad" and sticks.
Here are the links to those items on Amazon:
Frequently Asked Questions
Q:
What if we already have a drum/drumpad/drumset?
You can drum on whatever you already have :)
Most drumpads are fine, and if you already have a drumset, you can use that...we'll just be playing on 1 drum for this class.
The sticks are where you need to make sure you get something "name brand."
A good quality pair of sticks will have a little weight to them. The cheap ones will feel too light like balsa wood and they won't bounce well.
Imagine the difference between learning how to bounce a basketball vs. a beach ball. We want the sticks to be a little "heavy" so they bounce well.
Drumset Class
This is for students who are ready for the full drumset!
We recommend students have at least 1 semester of the basic "drumpad" (or basic rhythms) class before joining a drumset class.
Here are the links for a few good options for drumsets on Amazon:
$299
This is the most affordable kit from a reputable name-brand we've found.
Since it doesn't come with a bass drum "pad," that would be easier to hear, it helps to have the video set up for your class so we can see the foot pedal being pressed down, OR to have the drum set plugged into a speaker instead of headphones
2). ALESIS NITRO MAX
$399
This is the next step up with a "real" bass drum pedal
$50
This isn't a real drumset, but it is a very affordable way to start practicing the coordination for the drum set patterns and would work for the class!

Frequently Asked Questions
Q:
"Real" Drumset Vs. Electric Drumset
Most of our students use electric drums.
They're way more convenient; they have volume control, and you can use headphones with them.
