The best age to start learning to play the drums is around the age of 6 or 7, when kids are already tall enough to be able to reach all instruments in the sets and strong enough to hit the drums with strength. According to knowledgeable drum store retailers, the best way to learn drumming is with the help of a music tutor or with the help of online drumming lessons – here are some components that are incorporated in any great drum lesson for children:

• -Playfulness and fun – young children are unable to focus on monotonous tasks for prolonged periods, so it is essential to choose a tutor or video lessons that incorporate playfulness in the form of singing, games or other forms of entertainment;
• -An understanding, but determined tutor – the tutor you choose for your child needs to be trained and skilled in working with children and able to earn the respect of the children, too. The same goes for the tutor that your child sees in practice videos – the personality of the tutor will come through on the screen as well;
• -Specialized training materials – like there are cute fake smartphones made from plush for small kids, there are specialized learning materials developed to teach drumming to young kids. Make sure that the drum lessons that your kid attends or uses are suitable for your child’s age.
