Availability of drum lesson slots
In general, drum lessons are available every day from 10am to 9.30pm. At the weekends the lessons usually run from 10am to 5.30pm.
There are 'peak' times and 'off-peak' times. The peak times are the most popular in-demand times of day for sessions. Off-peak times are less busy and therefore the best availability is during off-peak hours.

Choice of locations for drum lessons:
Studio Tuition
Drum lessons take place at one of the fully-equipped drum studios in London. Your details will be matched to the studio which is most conveniently located for where you live or work, based on your availability for lessons. All studios are within easy reach of public transport links. Lessons at the studios take place using professional full-size acoustic drum kits. View the studio locations.
Home Tuition
If you have a drum kit at your home (acoustic drums or an electronic drum kit), a tutor can come to your location to teach the lesson. The availability of home lessons varies throughout the week. Home visits might be subject to additional travel expenses depending on your location, but otherwise they are the same price as lessons at the studios. For further details please see the Home Tuition page.
