LEARN TO PLAY THE DRUMS

The band meets each Monday at Knoxville's Scottish Rite Temple at the corner of 16th Street and White Avenue near the University of Tennessee campus. New student drummers will be advised on what to purchase for instruction at the first lesson The band welcomes new members.

The band gives free lessons each Monday evening at 6:00 p.m. prior to regular band practice, except on holidays. Band lessons and practice are held at the Scottish Rite Temple, 16th Street and White Avenue, just north of the University of Tennessee campus in Knoxville. Anyone interested in learning Scottish drumming on the snare, tenor, or bass drum or having questions about lessons should contact Drum Sgt. McClure.

Drumming lessons address standard Scottish settings. Drumming students and drummers furnish their own practice pads and sticks. However, beginning students are advised to buy this equipment only with the advice of their drumming instructor. The band furnishes Premier drums as shown below to all performing drummers.
