Musicians Institute's Drum classes offer a diverse and practical approach to contemporary drum education. At Musicians Institute, drumming is a total-immersion experience–students can learn a new groove or fill during their morning college drum class, and use it on stage that same afternoon in front of their professors and classmates. Here, they gain first-hand access to some of the greatest drummers in the world through frequent clinics and concerts.

The program is constantly evolving to meet the changing needs of drummers and the workplace, going beyond traditional drumming skills to include electronic drumming, digital recording, loops and sequencing. An Musicians Institute Drum education gives students the real-world experience and confidence they need to meet the changing demands of the profession while they also preserve their individual vision as a player.

MI’s Drum Education Program also offers courses on Electronic Drumming, Contemporary Cajon, Basic Afro Cuban percussion including conga, bongo, timbales and hand percussion.
