If you are interested in taking drum lessons, whether you are a beginner drummer or a hobbyist with slightly more experience, you may be searching for the nearest drum teacher to get started. Thanks to online lessons, the nearest teacher may be closer than you think.

  • Are online drum lessons a good fit for me?
  • How much do drum lessons cost?
  • What free resources are available to help me?

Do you have access to qualified local drum teachers?

We’re not here to compete with local drum teachers - they add massive value to the journey.

But the reality is that many people do not have access to a qualified local teacher, may not be able to afford one, struggle to coordinate busy schedules, or simply want to test the water before making a longer-term commitment.

Online drum lessons can better fit busy people who want to learn drums on their schedule.

How much do drum lessons cost?

Even if you have access to good drum teachers in your area, having some knowledge of the fundamentals of drumming will benefit you hugely, make your lessons more productive, and save you a lot of money.

With the average hourly rate of a professional teacher being around $60 per hour and the scheduling and logistics it can take to make an in-person appointment, you’ll want to ensure you are using your time wisely.

One entire month of access to our online video curriculum starts at $29 per month. It’s worth checking out our free course previews and other free resources to see if this learning method could be a good fit for you.
