Ready to drum up your Sunday mornings?
Group Drum Pad Classes are back at 7DrumCity, bringing drummers of all levels together for an inspiring start to the week. Just because it’s a group class doesn’t mean it’s one-size-fits-all. This drop-in friendly class blends the focus of a private lesson with the fun and energy of learning in community. Every class evolves with the group in attendance, so no two sessions are exactly the same. It’s the perfect way to build confidence, get in solid practice time, and boost your progress week after week.
What You'll Learn:
Drum pads are not just a warm-up tool; they’re the foundation of drum mastery. Every beat, rhythm, and technique starts here, making them the true centerpiece of learning to play drums! What To Bring:7DC will provide drum pads & sticks, but feel free to bring your own if you’ve got ‘em!

Meet Your InstructorJohn Heinze teaches at 7DrumCity three days a week and brings a ton of heart to every lesson. He’s a great listener and a laid-back, patient instructor with great energy. With a deep well of teaching materials, exercises, and beats, John can craft lessons that meet any drummer where they are… from total beginners to seasoned players looking to level up.
A lifelong student of the craft, John holds a joint music degree from Parkland College and Northeastern Illinois University and is constantly sharpening his own skills. Outside the classroom, he plays in several DC bands, including funk/soul powerhouse Everyday Everybody and punk outfit Trashboat and the Ambush, and leads the jam nights at Bossa Bistro + Lounge. |
A Little 7DC History: The Return of Drum Gym!
Back at the old 7DrumLessons studio on U Street, Drum Gym sessions gave drummers a space to dig into the fundamentals, build technique, and push each other to grow. The energy of those sessions is a core part of what helped us grow into the 7DrumCity community today!
Now we're bringing that energy back in a new form with Group Drum Pad Classes - a focused, collaborative class designed to sharpen skills, maintain consistency, and create that same sense of shared progress that made Drum Gym so loved.
