Drummers choose carefully where they choose to study and work. At the ICMP, we understand what drummers need and that is why our facilities are fully equipped with high quality acoustic drum kits, air-conditioned practice booths again with acoustic kits for private practice and a wide range of equipment for both performance and practice.

Originally known as the Drum Institute, the ICMP is located in London, at the heart of the music world, and has pioneered the teaching methods, curriculum and philosophy that have become the benchmarks for contemporary music education for drummers. The ICMP is uniquely placed to help drummers maximise their talent and develop a career in the music industry.  

Our teaching faculty, perhaps our greatest asset, is unrivalled in the UK and probably anywhere in the world! On an ICMP course, you will be taught by professional drummers who are still actively earning a living in the industry, alongside music business professionals and academics. We understand the need to balance practice with theory and support our students who go on to develop careers in a wide range of different directions.

 Specifically, by enrolling on an ICMP drum course, you will benefit from: 

• Small class sizes, meaning you get plenty of attention!
• One of the best and most experienced teaching faculties in the business
• Opportunities to perform live in gigs and showcase events in London
• Direct connections into the music industry and advice on how to build your career
• Industry-standard performance and practice facilities
• An opportunity to build that all-important network of contact
  

Many places try to copy our formula but of course there is only one Institute, the first and still the best way to make it as a drummer in the music business!
