This place Rocks! No pun intended. My 4 year old niece loves coming here. The last time she said "REMO is great, I wish I could live here!" On Saturdays they have kids drum session! It's 10:30-11:15! Kids under 12 free adults $5. Totally worth the 45 minutes, $5 bucks and deafening sounds to see happiness adult and child alike! The three times we have gone have been fantastic! There is a very talented special guest each time! Mr. Clown (YouTube) and Diana were so much fun! The Remo crew who lead every week are fabulous too! What a blessing Remo is to reach out to our community this way. read more

CAUSE IT'S THE FUNK, THE FUNK, THE FUNK, FUNKY BEAT ~Funky Beat by Everlast The REMO Recreational Music Center is dedicated to providing an atmosphere where people from all walks of life, of all ages, with or without a musical background, can experience making music with others in a welcoming, friendly, non-challenging environment and experience the benefit and joys of making music. STATS: Tuesday - Thursday 12:30pm - 8:30pm Fri & Sat 12:00pm - 5:00pm (Kids Drum Circle on Saturday Morning) Sun Call -(Based on Workshops) Mon CLOSED Free parking in the back EXPERIENCE: This was the last stop The Crew and I hit one Saturday while hiking in the area. The interior of this jam local is a huge space both horizontally and vertically... makings for great acoustics. We were greeted by our jam session leader who schooled us in the beating of the skin. As we each took a seat in a circle of chairs, each with a drum in front waiting to be straddled and beaten, our jam session leader reminded us, it's not going to sound good at first, but you'll get the hang of it and you will have fun. Close your eyes, put your hands flat on the drum. Slide your hands over the drum, feel the skin of the drum with the palm of your open hands. That's how we introduced ourselves to the tightly pulled strip of leather. It is so soft. So taut. With our eyes still closed and still getting to know our drum, we hit the skin in different places, to get an ear for the different sounds of the drum, The instructor played a beat, we repeated the sound, to the best we could, of course. After several bouts of this he had us do solo eight count of our own choosing. Of course, the 10 year kid had the best beat of us all. As he looped his count, we all followed suit and it instructor took a second beat to the foreground. And good golly, wouldn't you know it, we sounded pretty darn good. Either that or we were just having way too much fun. Going in, all we wanted to do was come out having learned something and have fun doing it. We had achieved our goal. We might not have sounded like Tommy Lee or Neil Peart, but hey, we weren't using sticks. Coming to Remo Rec, was a great way to end another adventure with The Crew. #learntoplaydrums #drums #goodforkids #goodforgroups Review 32 Yelp 100+ Challenge 2015 read more

Free family fun on Saturday mornings! I can't believe this place doesn't have more traffic on Yelp! Babies, kids, parents, grandparents, friends...they were all there. What a great way to start a weekend morning...drumming, singing, clapping, and shaking noisemakers! The drum circle's leader, and the rest of the staff were friendly, energetic, and fantastic. It's quite a drive from the Westside but well worth it! read more

I can't believe i have never heard of their free saturdays drum circle until now. We are taking our 3 year old for speech therapy and we told the lady who works with him that he loves to dance and sing, so she gave me the name of this place and said to check them out and since used to have a REMO drumset, i know REMO very well. Im so glad she did. They have the drum circle every saturday and the first sunday of every month, my wife and I took our 3 year old this past saturday AND sunday and we loved it. We will be definately going every week and we already told our co-workers about it and they said they are gonna bring their kids next weekend. The 2 times we have gone there, there were 2 different guys playing host to the drum circle and they both were really cool guys and they seemed like them had fun with the kids. I would definately recommend taking your kids there to beat, play, sing and just have fun for 45 minutes. read more

Remo Music Center - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me - Valencia, California

Love the kids drum on saturdays morning! More than a year coming here and the kids still love it. And the most important thing is that a lot of nice people work here too! read more

My 500th review! I took Baby C to the Kids' Rhythm Club on Saturday morning, and it's pretty interesting. The balance of instructor led vs. freestyle is nice. You can follow along with the 3 teachers, but if your child likes to do his or her own thing, that's cool too. The selection of drums & instruments is great, and it's all there for you to try out. Parents are encouraged to drum along ,if your little one allows it. Baby C sometimes wanted me to drum with him, and sometimes I was only allowed to shake maracas. The kids class is offered at 9:30am and 11am, and there's a reason I'm giving 3 stars. Overall, it's a good value at $5 per adult and kids are free. However, for the 9:30am class they stop at 10:05. I wish they would stretch out the class a little longer, since going until 10:15 or 10:20 would still give their instructors a nice break. We come from from Pasadena & the drive to Remo Music Center ends up being longer than the class, so I'm not sure how often I'll be doing this. Overall, it's a fun kind of music appreciation activity that you can do with your kids. read more

The unbroken string of five star reviews for this place is justified. My kids were initially at a loss for what to do. I could see it in their faces: what, I can touch things? I can beat these drums as loud as I like? If I want to dance sing and make noise, its alright? Yes, my noisy little monsters, go ahead. Get it out of your system....Lord knows we all need to do that from time to time. The staff lead the kids just enough to keep it from descending into chaos. Its adorable when the little ones just get up there and get their tribal rhythm groove on, and everybody is into it. read more

This place is AWESOME! I took my 1 year old to the drum circle they offer on Saturday mornings. So much fun! The guy leading the drum circle was so nice and really great with the kids. And there were a lot of kids! like 40-50? The room is huge and set up with a lot of drums, sticks and shakers. There is plenty for everyone. They also offer a little open mic time where kids can go up and sing while the whole room drums along. What a great way to build confidence in our little ones! So empowering! A few little details: decent parking lot in the back, sanitary wipes for when the kids stick all the instruments in their mouths, ear plugs for the little ones, donation based and there's a little play area when you first walk in for babies! What a great asset to the community! Will try to make it a regular thing for my little one! read more

This place is amazing! The service is outstanding! They hold drum circles here for free and you can go and play with a group and jam out! they deserve 10 Stars!! read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE the drum circle on sat mornings. My son has been enjoying them for years, and now my daughter is joining in on the fun. They provide tons of beautiful drums, tambourines, shakers and mallets for everyone. There are lots of regular faces and the folks who lead the circle are just wonderful. They do a lot of sing-a-long and there's usually a little dance party going on atop the mini stage. Occasionally, piano is incorporated as well. I usually have Queen's "We Will Rock You" stuck in my head for the rest of the day. So, be warned. The event used to be free, now it's $5 per child. Which is a total steal! It's so kind of Mr. Remo to open the doors of the shop to the community for these kinds of events. Honestly, I was shocked to see a 3 star review of an ongoing awesome event THAT WAS FREE! Definitely check out the shop, there are well crafted drums and percussion instruments that make perfect gifts or beginner drums for the youngsters. read more

Thank you Chris Ramirez for clearing up the air yesterday.. Hope to see you again soon.. Take care.. Aum Shanti read more

Lovely place to liberate the mind and get as close as possible to dancing without leaving your seat. Think a percussionist cave of wonders... You come as you are, park in the back of that boring industrial warehouse and as you open the door and swap aside the rosary curtain a whole lot, hundreds of drums in all shape and sizes, from all countries are at your service. Choose a drum grab a chair and join the circle of drummers in all levels. Everybody's welcome, no odd stares if you missed a bit, strayed out of rhythm or been rolling to your own drum for a while. The rhythms roll and change along an hour. Some layout and play a few drums at once, other go back and swap their drum for another. Yesterday jammed at that Remo weekly drumming circle. The whole pleasure for $3... If you're around L.A Thanks to both facilitators who run the floor for more then the 8 years I've been coming there off and on read more

I try to come to the Kids Drum Circle every Saturday with my 2.5 year old son and WE LOVE IT! The drum circle and the facilitators are great, and I wouldn't be able to think of a single way to improve it. And it's amazing to see how my son is constantly improving his rhythm. He's now obsessed with drumming and will often spontaneously beatbox his own rhythms or "rumble" on a random piece of furniture. Every time we see a live band, he asks "what's the drummer's name, papá" (in spanish). So thank you REMO. read more

So satisfied with my order from Remo - we are a school and placed a big order, and Mike was fantastic putting it all together to us and making suggestions about what we needed. Was easy to reach and our drums got delivered in a timely manner. Definitely recommend! read more

Quick update, the kids drum circle is no longer free, and subsequently much less crowded and energetic. We were there for the first try-out with charging patrons in September and it was a HUGE difference. My question is... are they making more or less money now that they charge? I hope they can find the sweet spot, we don't mind paying, but obviously others do. read more

The word around town is right Remo is a Dreamo! Great service great people and most important GREAT TALENT. Not to mention just yesterday the drummer for 21 pilots made a show in at our precious Remo location. read more

Awesome!! My 2 year old son and I just LOVE coming here Saturday mornings! Such a great way to get the weekend started! The drum circle leaders and all the staff are full of energy, and you can tell they genuinely love their job and what they do! :) read more

Great place for world drum/percussion instruction and for buying REMO instruments!

This place rocks!! They have drum circles almost every night of the week, classes, workshops and even birthday parties. This is a mom and pop shop compared to REMO Inc. located in Valencia. Remo and Ami have put their heart and soul into this place and have created a second home for many people who come to the drum circles here. The employees are extremely friendly and welcoming... Nothing but great things about the Remo RMC read more
