Here at Omaha School of Music and Dance drum lessons are just one of the many different types of classes we offer. We have a few different instructors who teach the drums at OSMD, which allows for flexibility. If drumming is something that you are interested in, this would be a great match for you — you will learn different techniques, style beats…and maybe even lessons about life!
5 Facts about Drumming
- Drums are one of the oldest musical instruments in the world! We don’t know exactly how old, but people have found drums, made with alligator skins, dating back to 5500-2350 in China.
- Drumming is a communication instrument. Throughout history, it has been used to send messages across long distances from one person, or groups of people, to another.
- Drumming is great exercise! If you drum for just half an hour, you can break a sweat more than you would cycling, weight lifting, or hiking.
- Drumming is universal. It has been used in almost every civilization for a variety of reasons: to celebrate, declare war, lead groups of people in a rhythmic beat, and guide the tempo of many different types of songs.
- Drumming is the music of the heart. When we listen to music having the beat of a drum, our hearts will try to match its tempo — speeding up or slowing down.
