How classes work
Small groups, real attention
At Origin Story, drum classes run in small groups of up to four students, one class a week, with the same teacher each week. A small group keeps lessons lively and sociable, while your teacher still hears, guides and corrects every student in every class.
Private lessons are rare and depend on teacher availability. If you have a specific goal, tell us at your free demo and we will suggest the best way to reach it.

Questions
Everything you might ask
Do I need a drum kit at home?
Not to begin. Many students start with a practice pad and sticks at home, and play the full kit in class. We can suggest what to buy when you are ready.
Is drumming too loud for a flat?
A practice pad is almost silent, and an electronic kit with headphones is a good next step. We will show you how to practise quietly.
How big are the group classes?
Groups have up to four students, so your teacher can listen to and correct each person in every class.
How often are classes?
One class a week, at the same time each week.
Do you offer private lessons?
Most of our students learn in small groups, which we find keeps them motivated. Private lessons are rare and depend on teacher availability: ask us at your free demo.
