Midlands Drum Academy

30/12/2023

Hi, everyone.

It's with a heavy heart I have to tell you that Midlands Drum Academy won't be continuing for the new year and drum lessons are being suspended.

There are lots of reasons for it, and a lot of pressures and pains to keep going with the lessons but I'm afraid it is no longer viable.

Any bookings will be refunded and the booking system will be disabled.

I'd like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you for everyone who came for their lessons and have made fantastic progress. I hope that you keep it up and I look forward to hearing about your musical, rhythmic journeys.

Thanks
Dan

🎁🎁It might be that time of year where Santa brings someone in your family a drum kit 😉

Here's some hints and tips to tell him if it's your first kit:-
1) You can often get a full setup as a bundle through Facebook marketplace for second hand kits at great prices between £50 -200.
2) A new, or nearly new beginner kit such as 'CB Drums' is about £200-250.
3) Your first kit should include all the things shown in the photo which are
a) 3 Toms
b) A bass drum
c) Snare drum
d) Hi-hats
e) At least one cymbal.
f) A kick pedal and seat (called a throne)

4) Here is a kit below which was listed for £300 and would last any student a good 5 or so years.

Thanks for reading! 🎁🎁
