Hi, kimck,
I found this - looks good, right?
Drumset and percussion are offered at the _____________________ locations for students of all levels. Beginners learn basic rhythm and reading skills through snare drum and drumset and receive an introduction to mallet techniques, while advancing students receive coaching in various aspects of percussion. All percussion students learn how to read music, maintain good sound production, and develop the dexterity to play the major percussion instruments.
______________________ teachers in the wind, brass, and percussion department incorporate ear training, sight reading, music fundamentals, musicianship, and the promotion of good work habits into their instruction at all levels, and remain responsive to students' individual needs and learning styles.
The minimum age for winds and brass private study is 9; for recorder study, 6; for drum study, 7. The recommended lesson length for beginners is 30 minutes.
I'm not prepared to buy a drum set though.
Yep, Kriston, that's DS8.
DS10 is currently taking bass guitar lessons and the place he takes will also start with 6 year olds on drum lessons. A friend of DS7 takes drum lessons there currently and loves it. His mom did buy a drum set but I am not prepared to do that at this point either. I've told him if he remains interested for awhile we'll look into it. 
Don't tell DS at my house though. He would love to take electric guitar. Maybe after a few more successful piano years for him.
