Drum Lessons

I won't be down till Feb but does anyone know anywhere good for drum lessons? Cork City/Bishopstown area?

I know two drummers. One used to get lessons in Pro Musica I think. Another taught himself. Got to be honest and tell you that the one who taught himself is better. The one who got lessons seems to be governed by all the rules he learned, and rarely does anything inventive, just all the same stuff. Whereas the one who taught himself just makes it up as he goes along and sounds fantastic.

But ya, Pro Musica in town I think.

This guy is your only man. Oliver, 087-2899726. He's been playing since he was a kid and is UNREAL. He will make a seriously good drummer out of you. I used to go to him myself until I fecked up my legs in a sports injury. He lives in Sundays Well area and has his own acoustic kit to train you on. To be honest he's the first guy in Cork i'd recommend. I've had lessons from various drummers in Cork.

Cheers for that. I'll give him a call in the new year, see if we can sort something out.

What style of drumming are you hoping to get into? It differs a lot.

Teaching yourself is defo the way to go...no instrument should be bound by rules.

Lessons do help you not to pick up a lot of bad habits though.
