Drum Lessons Melbourne

Drum at your own beat with The SoundLab.

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 groupsettings; 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 needing something to practise on at home? Visit our store!

"But beyond the lessons is the sense of community. The management generally cares about every single client and how they’re progressing. That welcoming feeling to every lesson is amazing! We also have 'The SoundLab Jams’ in which all the students and teachers are able to get together to perform and socialise. 10/10 for The SoundLab!"

"I highly recommend The SoundLab Music School, they have fantastic staff and a really great atmosphere! My daughter Casey started Guitar lessons for the first time ever this year at The SoundLab and her progress has been amazing. Her teacher has been awesome, from the range of music she learns to the improvement in her technique. To hear Casey play guitar now you would think she has been having lessons for years. Casey’s favourite day of the week is the day of her lesson. It is the most beautiful sound in our home now, to hear Casey playing and singing away to her favourite artists, from Radiohead, Jesus Mary Chain, Jeff Buckley and many more. Thanks to The SoundLab for all your encouragement and this great experience."

"We have loved every minute of our time learning Bass at The SoundLab. As from a mother's point of view – the customer service has been amazing – keeping me and my daughter up-to-date and organised for every lesson. All my questions are answered, big or small, and in a timely manner. As for the lessons – my daughter is learning Bass Guitar and every week she is excited to go to her lesson and even more excited to leave to go home to practice the new skills she has learnt. My daughter can’t wait to start learning other instruments at The SoundLab. Now what to choose…..piano, singing, guitar, drums……."

"I’ve been learning guitar at The SoundLab for just over 10 months now. I must say these have probably been some of the best 10 months ever. Cliché as it sounds, this comment is genuine. My guitar skills have excelled through the roof and I truly look forward to every lesson – having the ability to dictate what I want to learn feels like I’m truly owning the lessons, while then being supported by a truly talented teacher."

Bass Guitar Lesson FAQs

How long does it take to become a competent drummer?

+

Becoming a competent drummer is an exciting journey that can take varying amounts of time epending on the individual"s aptitude and dedication. Many people choose to take drumming classes from experienced instructors, as this can help them to learn the proper techniques faster by taking advantage of the instructor's expertise. Taking classes also allows for more personalised instruction and practical application. However, for those who prefer self-guided learning or are unable to attend traditional classes, taking a few lessons or reading up on drumming fundamentals can be a great way for beginners to hit the ground running in their drumming journey. Whichever route you take, with enough dedication and motivation becoming an awesome drummer is definitely achievable! Generally, it will take two years for the drum player to learn to play the drums. Take classes, practice consistently, and you’ll be rocking out on the drum kit in no time.

How do I find a good drum teacher?

+

Look for an experienced teacher whose recommendation comes from others with similar skills. By taking our drum classes in Melbourne, you can interact with the teacher one-on-one and get a sense of their teaching style. With the right teacher, taking classes not only provides an opportunity to learn from someone more experienced, but it also allows you to develop new skills and understanding of rhythm instruments.
