Athens
Athens is a college town that turned into a music town, and two of the bands that did it were built around drummers.
R.E.M. formed in Athens in 1980 with Bill Berry behind the kit, and he stayed for seventeen years and eleven albums before leaving in 1997 to farm in nearby Farmington (Britannica). He is playing again, in another Athens band, The Bad Ends. The B-52s came out of the same scene, and Keith Strickland, born in Athens, was originally their drummer; he moved to guitar only after Ricky Wilson died in 1985 (Wikipedia).
What matters for someone learning here is less the famous names than what they left behind: decades of a town where small bands form constantly, where playing in one is normal rather than ambitious, and where the bar for a first gig is a room with a PA.
If you are learning drums in Athens, you are learning in a place where there is somewhere to go and play badly in public. That is worth more to a beginner than it sounds.
Still verifying teachers here.
