Group Hand Drumming

We take groups of people who are interested in group hand drumming. You can put together a group of friends and we can facilitate some group drumming for you. We will teach you how to play hand drums and how to put that together in a group setting. This is a very popular activity for women and their friends, great for kid parties and also a great way for guys to get together with their friends for a night.  Prices vary.

Private Lessons

At ZFDS, we believe in a well rounded education. Each of our lessons are catered to the individual student as we understand that everyone learns differently.

We cover rudiments, orchestral percussion, latin, jazz, funk and rock studies of all levels and whatever the student may be interested in learning.   We make sure that all of our students are able to read music and learn whatever is needed to be the best drummer they can be.

Percussion Ensembles

Our percussion ensembles meet once a week for rehearsal at the studio. We currently have group ensembles for student 5yrs-adult.  All ensembles learn how to play steel drums as well as work on pieces that involve hand drums, hand held percussion instruments and also  “found objects” such as buckets and car break drums.  Being in an ensemble helps the students work on group playing and put’s to use what the students are learning in their private drum lessons.
