FLAMM Recommended Gear

About FLAMM Recommended Gear

FLAMM Academy is a private drum education studio focused on long-term musical development, safe practice habits, and clear foundational technique.

The gear listed here is intentionally limited and personally selected. Every item recommended is used regularly in lessons and is purposely chosen to support beginners and developing players without unnecessary complexity.

This section exists to eliminate confusion for students and parents, and to ensure that the equipment used alongside FLAMM tuition meets the same standards as the teaching itself.

Current Recommendations are organised by category and reflect what is actively used in lessons at FLAMM Academy

Drumsticks

At FLAMM Academy, we keep stick choices intentionally simple.

The models below are the exact sticks used during lessons and recommended to students. Each option supports good technique, balanced control, and comfortable playing across both practice pads and drum kits.

If you're unsure which sticks to choose, start with the Vic Firth 5A.

Practice Pads & Setup

Practice pads are a fundamental part of developing control, consistency, and technique.

The options below are used and recommended at FLAMM Academy to support effective practice at home. A proper setup — including pad and stand — allows students to build skills that transfer directly to the drum kit.
