PLAN B: PAY-BY-THE-HOUR
for advanced, doubtful or visiting students

This plan is recommended for advanced drummers or those visiting Berlin sporadically. Room and drum teacher included. No additional services beyond the lesson time. It is much more expensive than our PLAN A, but it does not imply any for of longer term commitment.

No matter which plan you will choose, every journey starts at the beginning: 
THE "Berlin Drum Experience" lesson! LENGTH: 3 hours! 

CONCLUSION/The Method: Based on what we have observed so far, too many schools teach you "only" exercises, forgetting the purpose of them. We will guide you through different methods that will allow you to soon walk on your own in the fascinating world of percussion. The point being: studying an instrument is a life long process and the role of a teacher should be (!) to make people independent by communicating how things work and how to understand what we still do not know while building our own personal style. Remember though, a teacher is a guide not a wizard and only you, with excitement and dedication can make it possible. 

Our main mission will be teaching you as many different perspectives, ideas and ways of thinking as possible in order to allow you to look at whatever you are learning from multiple angles. In a nutshell, our goals towards you will be teaching you how to teach yourself and develop a proper end efficient practice routine and methodology. That, we believe, is the most difficult yet most crucial skill that will have an impact in your drumming (and not only) future! 

Practice DOES NOT make you perfect. That is such a brainwashed concept! Practice makes you permanent: If you practice something wrong over and over again... you become very good at doing the wrong things ;-) PERFECT PRACTICE MAKES YOU PERFECT! Then again, who cares about perfection, but we do want: AWARENESS and freedom of expression on the instrument! 

We can only do this together with some proper teamwork, so keep an open mind,  but not too open that your brain falls out!

There are a lot of other exciting things happening, but we will unveil them to you step by step... We guess you are already a bit overwhelmed so... one "drum-beat" at a time! :) Everything else depends on how well we are able to work and grow together. We look forward to smashing those drums with you! That's it for now... simply get in touch via the contact form to have more information and join our beautiful drumming community! 

To your drumming success! Berlin Drum Experience team!
