FAQ

Things students ask.

Do I need to bring my own instrument?

Not for your first trial — we'll provide what you need. Once you enrol, we'll recommend a starter kit for Drums that suits your level and budget.

How long until I can perform a full Drums piece?

Most beginners perform their first short song within 8–12 weeks of consistent practice.

Can I switch teachers if it isn't a fit?

Absolutely. The teacher-student match matters more than anything else — just tell us and we'll re-match, no awkwardness.

Is there a recital?

Yes — we host an annual GADD9 showcase plus quarterly in-house performances. Participation is encouraged but never forced.

What makes Drums at GADD9 different?

Personalised pacing, a teacher matched to your goals, and a community of fellow students who genuinely cheer you on. We measure success in how often you actually practise.

The Story

Where Drums comes from — and where it lives now.

Find the pocket. Live there. Limb independence, click discipline, and stage stamina across rock, gospel, jazz and Indian fusion.

The modern drum set is a young instrument, only about a hundred years old. It emerged in early 20th-century New Orleans jazz, when drummers began combining bass drum, snare, cymbals and toms into a single 'trap' kit that one person could play — a practical response to smaller ensembles and tighter stages.
