About Me

Hi. I'm Donn. Playing music has been the focus of my life since I was a kid. What I've learned playing music has helped me in virtually every aspect of my life and I feel extremely fortunate to share my experience with anyone interested in making music part of thier life.

I started ...

I started teaching drums in 1977 and opened Donn Bennett Drum Studio in Bellevue in 1996. My studio is the now the center of the drum universe in the Northwest and attracts drummers from around the globe. In addition to our fine staff of teachers we regularly host lessons and classes with some of the top drummers in the world. We teach group and private lessons. We also teach gutar and bass. Our teachers are all professional working drummers with the practical experience and passion for music that sets them apart from all others. We teach all levels and styles of drumming. We welcome beginning, intermediate and professional drummers.

In addition to our drum school we are home to the only 5 Star Independent Drum Shop in the State of Washington. We buy, sell and trade new, used and vintage drums. We carry virtually everything a drummer could possibly ever want. Our selection, prices and courteous staff are the best you'll find anywhere. We also feature our world famous drum museum crammed full of drums owned and used by the greatest drummers of our time.

Come see what all the buzz is about. I'm looking forward to meeting you.

Review of Double Bass Drumming Class, February 03, 2009

I must say that Chase is an awsome teacher. He went through each excercise with every individual in the class to insure that we all understood our practice assignment for the week. The following week was fun to show how we've progressed. The great part of the class was seeing how everything could be applied. He was able to help me with my technique to improve my speed, strength, and evenness. It's improved my confidence in my abilities and made drumming so much more fun without being frustrated all the time. It was such a blast that I'm considering taking the class again.

Thanks again,
John Barrett

Review of Drummers Crash (Boom, Bang) Course, February 03, 2009

All my life I had this unrealized desire to learn to play the drums. A friend invited me to join the Drummer Crash Course at Donn Bennett Drum Studio, for total beginners. I'm 52 and I admit I was really nervous. But am I glad I did!

Even at the end of the first lesson, all of us (total newbies to the drums) were keeping the beat with classic drum patterns! There were 3 of us older gals who took the course, 2 young kids, 1 high school guy and 1 adult guy.

After 4 lessons (which I totally looked forward to every week) and very little practice in between, I couldn't believe that we could ALL play to real songs, and that we were all totally synchronized. We learned some cool fills and crashes and gained alot of confidence.

Hats off to Donn and Scott, who were outstanding drum teachers. They tag-teamed our class, and they were patient, encouraging, FUN, totally knowledgeable, open to questions, focused on our individual learning. This class was a blast.

I am so glad that Donn offered this class. It's an awesome value for a low price, and now when I watch rock bands perform, I keep the beat with the drummer!
