Drum Information & School
Student Drummers
We are pleased to offer instruction for those who wish to learn to play the drums. Instruction is free for snare drum, tenor drum, and bass drum. Students must provide their own pair of sticks (snare drum) or mallets (tenor drum) and their own practice pad. When students/instructors feel they are ready and proficient, students will be required to play the audition material in front of the Drum Sargent & Drum Corporal in order to obtain a drum and play in the circle with the band.
