Mastering “Smells Like Teen Spirit”: Kye’s Journey with Drum Lessons Near Me in Tooele County

Updated: Sep 18


Here at Josh Kastleman Drum Lessons, we believe in letting students pick the songs that inspire them. That’s exactly what Kye did when he chose to learn “Smells Like Teen Spirit” by Nirvana. This iconic track, driven by Dave Grohl’s legendary drumming, is a powerful challenge for any drummer. Known for his heavy-hitting and energetic style, Dave Grohl gave Nirvana its distinct sound, and mastering his beats is a major accomplishment for any drum student.




Kye dove into the song with determination, and even through the tough sections, he stayed focused and driven. After weeks of practice, Kye was ready to show off his skills. With just one take in the studio, he knocked out his recording in less than 10 minutes, including setup and soundcheck. This is a testament not only to Kye’s hard work but also to the efficiency of the Drums In Color system.

Developed by Josh Kastleman, the Drums In Color learning system has become a favorite among students for its unique, color-coded approach to drumming. Students find it easier to grasp the fundamentals of rhythm, timing, and notation, even if they’ve never read traditional music notes before. This keeps them engaged and excited to learn.


Kye’s progress is a perfect example of how quickly students can excel with this system. After mastering “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” he’s already moving on to his next song, eager to take on new challenges. And with every new song, Kye earns a band sticker to add to his binder, showcasing all the songs he’s mastered.

Our drum lessons, located near me in Stansbury Park in Tooele Valley, are designed to help students learn quickly, efficiently, and with a lot of fun along the way. Whether they’re performing in the studio or live at one of our semi-annual recitals, students thrive in this supportive and creative environment.


Parents love seeing their children progress, and students love the rewards that come from recording songs and performing live. If you’re looking for drum lessons near me, you’ve come to the right place.
