PERSONALISED WIRRAL DRUM LESSONS
At Wirral Music Factory, we are aware that everybody learns differently and people all want to learn different things in their drum lessons. For every lesson, therefore, it is vital that whenever possible the student has a big input into what it is that they want to be learning. It might be that you want to learn a specific song, drum fill, or groove in the Wirral drum lessons, or the student might want to look at learning to read music or a technique. However, the student wants to spend their time in the Wirral Drum lessons is up to them. If the student does not know what they want to do in the drum lesson, that is also no problem; the teacher will give ideas on areas which could be good to look at, and a lesson will be based around that.
WHY GET WIRRAL DRUM LESSONS?
Learning to play the drums is a very rewarding and enjoyable experience for anybody who decides to take it up. Whether it is just as a hobby or something more serious, playing and learning the drums is something that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and abilities.
Apart from the obvious enjoyment people get from just hitting stuff, there are also many other benefits for people studying drumming, such as stress reduction, exercise, confidence building, self-expression, and not forgetting learning to play drums and being part of a band.

CAN I LEARN DRUMMING GRADES?
Yes, you can. Grades in music are something many people find to be useful. They give a structured route for learners to follow in their Wirral Drum lessons, and learning gives them many fundamental and fun tasks to achieve to pass the assessment. Rock school grades have emerged as something many people really enjoy. The grades progress to grade 8 and start on the debut grade with different levels of difficulty in between. There are also add-on books (Hot-Rocks) that offer the chance to play popular songs as part of your grade exam. We also offer other tuition in other musical syllabi.
HAVE FUN
During drum lessons at Wirral Music Factory, we like to keep lessons as fun and relaxed as possible, whilst still keeping them focused and beneficial. There is no pressure on how fast or slow people learn, as everybody learns in their own time and at their own pace. We will always do our best to adapt our teaching and lesson methods to suit whoever is learning in a way they feel relaxed and encouraging.
LEARN DRUM FILLS
Drummers love playing drum fills! Thinking of and playing great-sounding drum fills takes work and an understanding of the music you are playing. You will learn how to create your own stickings, adapt drum rudiments and other techniques to create your own great sounding drum fills, and also give you the tools you need to do it all yourself. You will also learn when to and when not to use these drum fills and play tastefully to the music.
READING MUSIC
Written music for drums is very similar to that of any other instrument and equally important. Learning to read (Sight Reading) music for drums is an extremely useful skill to have for all drummers. It helps with learning new patterns and fills as you can write them down and learn at your own pace. Students can learn from drumming books and websites, write drum charts plus much more.
PLAYING IN A BAND
For many people learning the drums, their long-term aim is to play in a band. This may be to either perform in front of an audience or just as a bit of fun. It is therefore important to know our role within a band and what our job is. Are we playing too loudly or too quietly? Is the song the right speed? Should I play a drum fill? Should I count the song in? Having an understanding of your roles will help you become the best drummer you can be.
TECHNIQUE TRAINING
Techniques in drumming are something that is often overlooked but is very important. Not only can it help avoid short and long-term injury, but it can also be the difference in being able to play certain grooves and drum fills. During the drum lessons at Wirral Music Factory, we give technique advice as we progress, helping you to avoid bad habits if you are starting. If you have been drumming for a while, we can evaluate your technique and, if needed, look at changing any bad habits you might have to develop your drumming technique. You can learn these techniques in your Wirral drum lessons at WMF.
