Lessons tailored to you

We currently teach more than 100 students per week. From busy children who finally find something they love, to adults who always wanted to drum but never started.

Children and young adults

From 'I want to drum!' to actually drumming — in a place where laughing about mistakes is just as important as practising.

Adults

Many adults only start at 30, 40, 50, or even after retirement! No problem. There is no deadline for learning to drum.

Stefan van de Brug – founder and head teacher Drumschool The Hague

Founder & Head Teacher

Drum school since 2010

Stefan speaks

"Drum lessons are about much more than technique."

I started this school because I know what it feels like when a lesson just does not fit. When you really want to learn, but the guidance is not right for you. I wanted to do that differently — calmer, more personal, with genuine attention for who you are as a student.

Some students have been with us for more than 10 years. Not because they have to, but because they look forward to their lesson every single week.

Onze dochter heeft zojuist haar eerste (proef)drumles gehad en ze vond het GE-WEL-DIG! Jelle deed het fantastisch, ze kon de uitleg goed volgen en kwam springend en juichend thuis. Ook professionele studio's waar de lessen gehouden worden. Heel leuk en goed gedaan, complimenten.

Our method

More than just drum lessons

Drumming is about timing, feel and how you listen. Every lesson is personally tailored — without rushing, with clear steps.

Technique

Correct posture, stick control and coordination. The foundation on which everything rests.

Musicality

Grooving, listening and playing in a band. Drumming is a social skill.

Focus & enjoyment

Something to take away from every lesson. No pressure, just progress.

This is how we have been teaching since 2010. And why it works.

Practice Flow

Don't just learn
what to play.

Learn how to practise.

Most students don't get stuck on motivation — they get stuck on practising at home. That's why we work with a clear method: Warm-up, Exercise, Create, Play. Within each exercise you then build from Understand to Musicality.

Great for students: less vagueness and less frustration at home.

Great for parents: there is a clear method behind every lesson.

Great for progress: this is the logic on which practice sessions are built.

In short

Warm-up

Muscles awake, minimal thinking.

Exercise

This is where real development happens.

Create

Variations, improvisation and play.

Play

Songs, tracks and fun.

Within the exercise:

Understand → Control → Consistency → Musicality

Most methods tell you what to practise. This method also makes clear where you are now and what the next step is.

Three studios in Loosduinen

Quiet spaces. Good acoustics. Professional drum kits. Everything is there to make your lesson as clear and enjoyable as possible.
