As we gradually come out of lockdown, I would like to share with everyone the exciting new group tuition which I will start offering at The Drum Room soon… The Yamaha Drum Encounters course is a fantastic, fun filled way of learning to play the drums in a group setting. Each lesson will be 1 hour in duration made up of students of similar age and ability, totalling a max of 4 students per group…Oh yes, and a free taster lesson to kick things off! Can’t wait to get started on this, and please don’t hesitate to contact me for any further info through my enquiry form or email info@rickstix.co.uk… In the meantime check out the Yamaha Drum Encounters promotional video.
