The Wizdom Drumshed in Canada

Steph built a new state-of-the-art drum studio. Into each lesson is fused the passion of 8 years of private lessons, playing with bands, master classes, and clinics. The teaching studio is a free-standing shed type structure. The room contains two full Mapex drumkits with Sabian Cymbals, Evans Drumheads, Audix microphones and Vic Firth sticks. There is also a complete audio-video system with a 40” HD LCD TV and a HD camcorder to record the lessons on DVD. Play along is facilitated by monitoring phones and high end speakers for reference listening. The practice pads are set up separate from the kits, with mirrors nearby for the student’s own reference, a metronome and pairs of Vic Firth Dom’s Pad Sticks. The reading section count two professional marching and classical snares with specialized sticks and ear protections. A wireless internet connection is available in the studio for students who want to surf the web, watch clips, download charts and play-along material or just visit web sites.

The studio is also outfitted with a full range of media for reference, including a complete set of all drum books and DVDs. The room was modeled after Dom Famularo’s Wizdom Drumshed, using the same material. The School is the only official Wizdom Drumshed accredited in Canada.

A few testimonials of satisfied students

It only takes a moment to discover that study with Stephane is going to be something special. Within minutes, Steph can highlight areas that could use more attention and provides instruction that immediately addresses those areas. With a little time and a little conversation, Stephane is able to put together an entire study program based on your needs and desires that is sure to take your drumming to a higher level than you ever imagined possible. Not only is Stephane an excellent teacher in the craft of drumming but he also incites – or re-ignites – the passion for drumming that is what takes the craft and turns it into art. Stephane is the instructor who can show you how to learn to focus your desire and express your art. Steph travels the world giving demonstrations, Master Camps, and lessons, and now is your chance to have your own one-on-one Master Camp spent in the luxury of Steph’s Wizdom Drumshed Quebec studio. Whether you are a beginner or professional, I unreservedly recommend Stephane Chamberland as one of the finest teachers you are ever likely to encounter. I traveled halfway around the world for my first lessons and I’m already making plans for my next visit.

Studying with Steph at his wizdom drumshed is definitely the highest form of drum education I have had so far. Steph is combining his state of the art teaching facility with his incredible knowledge and love of drumming makes for an unforgettable learning experience. He opened my mind to many different ideas, styles, and techniques which allows me to be more prepared for the many varieties of music that I play. Steph always has such a positive and encouraging attitude and pushes me to be my very best. He is always willing to help make my trip easier by finding me a close hotel to stay at or campground seeing as how I live 2000 km away. When I am back home after my lessons he always stays in contact and continues to encourage me in my playing and offers great advice. He sets up the curriculum based on what my needs as a student are which allows me to make great progress quickly. Stephane is the best teacher, player and mentor and has so much to offer. I will be traveling to study with him as long as I can and I would encourage anyone who is serious about taking their playing to a higher level to do the same.

In spending just six days with Stephane, I learned more than I would have in two years on my own. He is an astonishing teacher and his enthusiasm and energy not only help you learn but make you WANT to learn. If you want to advance every aspect of your drumming to the next level, then this is the guy to go to!
