Bang Bang Drum School

A drum school for little hands

Bang Bang Drum School is a London based community arts project that provides drum classes for babies and toddlers, workshops for older children and private lessons to kids of all ages.

Yesterday brought to a close the last session of our month-long, weekly stint at The Old School Rooms in Hackney. Join us in Clapton tomorrow for our session exploring different cymbals. Did you know that cymbals have been around for at least 3,000 years?! We launch in Hackney one week today! Due to circumstances beyond our control, we’ve had to change the venue for our Saturday classes. [EDIT] These sessions will now be happening at the Old School Rooms (2 Powerscroft Rd, E5 0PU). We’ve teamed up with the lovely people @markandmarko in Lower Clapton and will be hosting sessions for four consecutive Saturdays this February, starting from the 4th. 2022 was our first full year of Bang Bang and what a great year it has been: we held more baby and toddler sessions at our Islinton venue, Crumbles Castle; we started one to one drum lessons for older kids; we did our first Bang Bang Birthday party and we hosted workshops at Supernormal festival. Last week we explored the worlds of foley and trap drumming. We played various objects, listened to field recordings and made our very own rainstick during the craft session. We had great fun in our first autumn baby and toddler sessions today! We learned all about the drum kit and designed our very own bass drum graphic inspired by hand painted heads from the 1920s.
