"My drum lessons are often the motivation to make it through each week. My instructor is not just a teacher, he has become a friend and mentor as well. Drumming is a source of confidence and positive energy that applies to every aspect of my life." -David, (age 16) Paso Robles (read more) |
Call |
“Drum School 101 has built a great program. My boys have been taking lessons for less than a year and I can’t believe how they’ve become ‘real drummers’ already. Their teacher is the coolest, most sincere person. He really loves his students.” |
ABOUT US
We were established in 1988 at The Drum Circuit. Our instructors are friendly, patient, professional working drummers who love teaching students of all ages. The curriculum is for all levels, beginner to pro. Students can have fun while improving technique, developing reading skills, and learning a variety of styles. Each studio is equipped with two drum sets (for instructor and student), and multi-media sound systems with wide screen monitors.
INSTRUCTORS (L to R) Jesse Hesch, Dale Moon, Brian Monzel, Mike Raynor, Steve Hilstein, Barrett Grimsley, Wyatt Lund (front), Isaac Laing, Jim Stromberg.
