How much are drum lessons in Abu Dhabi?
AED 600 + 5% VAT a month for 8 one-on-one lessons of 45 minutes, twice a week, or AED 1,650 + 5% VAT for 24 lessons over three months, which saves AED 150. Your first trial lesson is free.
Do I need my own drum kit?
No. Every lesson is on our full acoustic drum kit. To practise between lessons you can book the rehearsal studio by the hour, or ask us about a practice pad or an electronic kit for home.
From what age can children take drum lessons?
Children and adults of every age are welcome; each lesson is one-on-one, so the teacher sets the pace for the student. Book a free trial lesson and the teacher will tell you if it is the right time to start.
