Drum lessons involve precise coordination, musicality and a good measure of feel.  I frequently come across people who say without proper thought or analysis that drumming is a subordinate instrument that is nothing more and cannot stand alone as a legitimate instrument...  This line of thought is severely flawed and with an introductory drum lesson, a student gains much more than 'hitting' things to relieve frustration, they gain an ability to feel music, to read, to coordinate and to become a real musician. www.westlondon-drumtutor.com
