About Drum Tutor
Drum Tutor offers an extensive and engaging drumming programme that caters to both kids and adults through its own curriculum for students across all levels. Conceptualized by award-winning drummer Er Chow Kiat, the lessons are solely based on the pace of the student’s learning ability whether is it learning a new song, working on grading examination materials or breaking down a certain groove or rhythmic pattern.
Perks of being a student at Drum Tutor
Up-To-Date Curriculum
Drum Tutor’s curriculum is planned and written by our founder and creative partner, Er Chow Kiat.
His education at Musicians Institute (Hollywood, CA, U.S.A.) has enabled him to craft out a structured lesson plan that is fun, challenging and yet contemporary at the same time.
Students are ultimately taught to serve the music and not just to focus on the technical aspect of drumming.
