Why Choose the School of Drumming: A Journey of Rhythm and Growth

Hello, fellow drumming enthusiasts and curious souls! My name is John Georges, and I'm here to share with you the heart and soul behind the John Georges School of Drumming—a place where drumming mastery meets personal growth.

With over 45 years of dedication to both playing and teaching drums, I've had the privilege to shape the lives and skills of countless students. My journey has been one of continuous learning and sharing, fueled by a passion that's as rhythmic as the beats we play. The School of Drumming isn't just about learning to play; it's about embarking on a transformative journey that resonates through all facets of life.

A Symphony of Experiences


My professional drumming career spans television, nightclubs, music studios, weddings, and performances with bands of all sizes—though Big Band music holds a special place in my soul. Studying with legends like Joe Morello, Alan Dawson, Fred Buda, Gene Roma, Gary Chaffee, and Joe Hunt at Berklee College has not only honed my skills but also enriched the teaching methodologies I employ at our school.


Inspiration Before Dawn


My day begins at 4:00 am, in the quiet before the city awakes. This solitude is my canvas, where the drumsticks in my hands and the pedals at my feet paint the start of a new day. Setting up my practice routine the night before, I engage in a personal challenge—a dance of man versus drum, of rhythm and precision. This discipline, born out of love for drumming, is what I aim to instill in my students at the School of Drumming.


Why Our School Stands Out


Choosing the John Georges School of Drumming means embracing a philosophy where drumming is more than an art form; it's a path to achieving broader life successes. Our proven methods are designed to enhance not only your drumming skills but also your personal growth. Whether you opt for weekly, bi-weekly, or one-off sessions, at your location or mine, you're not just learning new techniques—you're becoming part of a legacy.


Studying here offers a unique opportunity to learn from someone who has shared stages with some of the greatest drummers on the planet and who values the deep, personal transformation that comes with mastering the drums. My teachings are infused with the wisdom and insights gained from a lifetime of performance and study, aimed at unlocking not just your potential as a drummer, but as a person.
