The Pop, Rock & Metal Music School of Maryville, Tennessee
POP
DRUMS
Pop drums are critical to keeping the catchy beat even and dynamic. Keep it simple or add some drama--the band follows YOU!
ROCK
DRUMS
Rock drums are the driving force behind building and nailing the highs and lows of a song. Unless it's an acoustic guitar set, drums are a requirement for rock music.
METAL
DRUMS
Metal drums go so hard that they require TWO PEDALS! That's right, get ready to BLAST BEAT your way into the most challenging genre of music, keeping every transition tight between complex arrangements while your band follows your every beat.
You are not restricted to one playing style at The Rock & Metal Academy.
While you will choose your genre(s) focus of study, you will be encouraged and provided opportunities by your instructors to grow and experiment so that your playing is your own individual, completely unique blend of your tastes and stylistic choices.

Another thing that sets us apart from other music schools:
WE DO NOT CENSOR
our students musical selections.
Music is a form of communication unlike ANY other, and
ALL emotions, light and dark,
require and deserve the freedom of expression that music provides.
But above and beyond, what we at The Rock & Metal Academy are MOST proud to provide is
A SAFE PLACE FOR YOU TO BE EXACTLY WHO YOU ARE.
Music is HEALING.
Music is UNIFYING.
Music is HOME.
Still not convinced?
Here's what our students, parents and collaborators are saying...
RMA is one of the
most amazing and welcoming places on Earth.
Even though you originally come here to learn how to sing, play an instrument, or write your own songs, you end up making life-long friends and people you even begin to consider family.
The teachers will NEVER give up on you...they will keep pushing you to try new things and get out of your comfort zone until you are the best that you can be.
