Mumbai -- The True School of Music, India’s first comprehensive institute of contemporary music now offers students a specialization in Drums, with its unique Pro Drum classes.
Pro Drum classes are aimed at creating a versatile performer. The course enables students to learn different genres of music Rock and Blues, Latin, R&B, Jazz and Funk that enable a musician to use these skills either in session or while on the stage. An understanding of these styles not only helps students in pursuing independent music, but also commercial Bollywood and non-Bollywood music.
Julia Leggett, CEO, The True School of Music says, “The True School of Music has always encouraged cross-discipline study to impart to our students a broader skill set and access to a wide range of opportunities within the music industry. In order to achieve this, we have divided all courses into individual study modules enabling students to study modules from other disciplines in parallel to completing the course of their choice.”
Course Specification:
The courses can take in students at very basic levels and then progress them to more advance concepts and techniques over three distinct levels of learning.
These classes will help students understand technicalities of the instrument and apply these during performances. For example, drummers will learn stick technique and hand/foot coordination and rhythms.
By the end of level one a successful student should be able to read and write rhythmic notation up to and including semi-quavers, play all the basic rudiments, develop knowledge of different technique and be able to use correct playing techniques, transcribe parts and form different grooves and beats, develop internal rhythm through the use of the metronome and develop an appreciation of style.
Students will have the opportunity to learn grooves to songs like “Fly Away” by Lenny Kravitz, “Hard to Handle” by Otis Redding, “That’ll be the Day” by Buddy Holly and the Crickets and “War Pigs” by Black Sabbath.
Course Faculty:
Robin Van Rhijn mentors this course and played on the North Sea Jazz Festival at the age of 16. At 18, Robin got accepted to the Conservatory of Rotterdam. He studied drums with Hans van Oosterhout, Joost Patocka and composition from Kris Goessens. In this period Robin explored a lot of different music genres.

Courses are taught during the weekday, evenings and weekends and are designed to be full time or fit around either work or additional study commitments.
