Beginner Drummers

We recommend attaining basic drum instruction from your local music store. Zarkie Music and Nottelman's Music stores provide a good base of instruction on how to read drum music and rudiments. This will give you a good base from which to learn Celtic drumming. At practice we work on the massed band drum beating using recognized scores as well as learning scores for specific songs.
