Inside Our Los Angeles Drumming Lessons
Drums are an exciting instrument. They bring energy into a room and set the pulse that gets people moving. If you see that spark in yourself or your child, we provide a supportive environment where that energy can turn into real musical skill.
Musical Styles & Approach
Whether you’re drawn to rock, pop, jazz, funk, Latin, or modern styles, your drum lessons focus on the music that inspires you. You’ll develop the timing, groove, and feel that define each genre, helping you play with confidence and versatility.

Professional Los Angeles Drum Instructors
Our drum teachers are people you’d actually feel comfortable learning from. We make sure they are chosen not just for their drumming skills but also for their warmth, personality, professionalism, and how well they connect with students. They’re patient, encouraging, and know how to adjust lessons flexibly based on how you or your child learns best.




Student Recitals
Angeles Academy of Music offers private drum lessons in Brentwood, Westwood, and Tarzana, with teachers who are patient, encouraging, and used to working with younger students. If you’re looking for beginner drum lessons in Los Angeles that won’t feel intimidating or chaotic, you want a place that knows how to work with kids, not just musicians. Our teachers know how to work with kids and make lessons fun & encouraging for them, so they're not bored after a few days and stick to a healthy habit that builds real-life confidence, discipline, and musicianship.
No. And we usually recommend not buying one right away. Most students start on practice pads or electronic drums during lessons, which keeps things quieter and more manageable. Once you’ve had a few lessons, your teacher can guide you on what kind of kit makes sense for your home and budget. No pressure, no guesswork.
Many adult learners in Los Angeles choose Angeles Academy of Music for private, one-on-one drum lessons. Our instructors are experienced with adult beginners and returning players alike, and lessons are paced to fit your goals and schedule.
Drums are safe when taught with good technique and volume awareness. Many kids begin as young as 5–7 years old, but it really depends on focus, coordination, and interest. We often start younger students on electronic kits where volume can be controlled, and we always teach healthy posture and listening habits so ears and bodies stay comfortable. Moreover, we use electronic drum kit that has volume control options and headphones accessibility, so your practice doesn't harm your ears or disturb neighbours.
Absolutely not. It’s never too late to start drums. Many adults begin drum lessons in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond. We have seen many passionate adult learners make real progress. All you need is consistency, and we will guide you on the rest.
Our Facilities





















LA families and students share their experiences
You’ll also enjoy being part of a community of both new and experienced drummers, along with students learning other instruments. Some are just getting started, others have been playing for years, and everyone brings something different to the table. Students often learn from one another, share ideas, and in many cases form bands or play music together outside of lessons, making the experience more social, motivating, and fun.
My son has been enrolled at Angeles Academy of Music for 2 months and we love it here. He is 7.5 and is taking piano lessons for the first time with Tori. She's amazing with kids and he is having fun and learning so much. I love how they tailor what he learns to his interests. Definitely recommend for families looking to introduce their kids to the joy of a musical education.
