The school was formerly known as The Drum Institute, before being integrated into the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance last year. We have the reputation not only of being the outstanding place for students of drums and percussion to develop their skills, but also for the excellent facilities available for practice, performance and teaching.



The Institute counts on some of the best teachers of contemporary drums in the country (click here to see details of our faculty members). All perform regularly as live musicians, and work alongside artists such as Madonna, Spice Girls, Take That and Steve Vai as writers, collaborative musicians or performers.


Importantly, our teachers understand both the practical and theoretical elements required by the modern drummer, and you can count on years of experience when you sit in one of our classes! But don't just take our word for it. Dom Famularo, drumming's global ambassador, has this to say about the Institute:

"In my global travels I have seen many teaching facilities. I recently performed at the Drum Institute in London and was very impressed and inspired! The students were excited to learn and the atmosphere at the Institute was extremely positive for learning. I look forward to returning soon to continue the journey of sharing the path to personal musical expression. I'm also extremely proud and honoured to have accepted the Institute's invitation join the team as a member of the 'visiting teaching faculty'!"
