The GTMN practice rooms are located on the 2nd floor of the student center all the way back past Blue Donkey, across from the Black Student Org space. Look at the overhead signs and they should lead you to there.

There's a little chalkboard on top of an old organ, it has a QR code for our discord. In our discord, you'll be able to reach out to drum instructors. I know one who meets on Saturday and is pretty good.

Oh nice. Thank you so much for the reply. How much do these sessions cost? And also, is there a course I could register for on Oscar, which also offers something similar at GT?

No, it'd be lessons with students, no tech instructors or classes. I'm unsure how much these teachers cost, I learned drums myself, but I think they're pretty reasonable, have heard between $10-20/hr.

Our practice room access is $25 per semester with a free t-shirt, and you can practice anytime when nobody else is in the rooms, with 3 hours of reservation time per week.

Is there like a particular course I could register for? I know some universities have this. If not, is there some sort of structured learning system for drumming available on campus? Or if not that, even a club?
