The centre is spacious with parking facilities. Community room 1 is large with heating in winter and cooling in summer, making it ideal for all year-round location for learning community drumming. 

The Point Cook venue offers classes in African djembe hand drums and the larger dun dun stick drums. Whilst other hand percussion such as Bells and shakers are also used to enhance the rhythm of the pieces learnt. Classes are available for both beginners and intermediate students.

Other forms of drumming are taught after a certain time, such as Samba drumming style.
