Laura W. says, "Ali is an incredibly talented and patient drum teacher. I’m an adult learning, and rhythm does not come naturally to me. Ali finds clever ways to break down each skill dynamically as he sees what I’m struggling with, and he’s so encouraging. He is also a very sick drummer and inspires you with what you might one day be able to do. Highly highly recommend Ali!" Read more

Right now, I am taking a short break in between my bachelor of Jazz studies at the California Jazz Conservatory and have specifically studied under Gerald Cleaver, Alan Hall, Hamir Atwal, and Dillon Vado.

Are drum lessons worth it?

Drum lessons are worth if for those who want to play professionally or who want to learn faster. Private classes help students sharpen their techniques more quickly and build better playing habits. Expert tutors offer tailored feedback to nourishing the latent talents within their pupils.

At what age do you start drum lessons?

Children can start drum lessons between 6 to 9 years old. Initial instruction begins with a single drum. Kids can't play on a full drum kit until they can reach the foot pedals and focus for extended periods of time. For adults, any age is suitable to learn drumming.

How many drum lessons do you need?

You will need drum lessons every week for about half a year to a whole year in order to learn to play simple songs. If you want to audition for a band or play drums like a pro, it usually takes 2 to 5 years of lessons.

How fast you learn depends on how good you are now and how much you practice.

How long is a drum lesson?

A drum lesson is 30 to 60 minutes long on average. The lesson length depends on how experienced the student is and their age. Shorter lessons are better for beginners to help slowly increase their focus. This way, they can build up their strength for longer practice sessions later.

How do I find a good drum teacher near me?

Find a good drum teacher near you by searching for private drum tutors on here on Lessons. Another option you have is asking for the availability of teachers at music stores or community colleges.

Before you choose a drum teacher close to you, remember to:

  • Check the prices from at least 3 drum teachers to compare them.
  • Look at what people say about them on Lessons and Google.
  • Ask for a references list of students they are teaching or have taught.
  • If they will teach your child, ask other parents if their kids liked the teacher.
  • Make sure you get a written plan and a schedule before you start your first lesson.
  • Try a few classes and see if you like the teacher before you pay for a whole month of lessons.

What questions should you ask a drum teacher?

Before hiring a drum teacher, ask them:

  • How long have you been a drum teacher?
  • What music school did you go to?
  • What ages do you like to teach?
  • Can I try a lesson for free?
  • What kind of drum should I get if I don't have one at home?

  • Will I get homework like drum patterns to remember?
  • Can you teach me in a way that helps me learn best?
  • How long is a lesson?
  • What should I bring to our lessons?
  • How many types of drum music can you teach me?
  • Can I get a copy of our lesson plan, rules, and how much I have to pay?
  • What if I can't come to a lesson because something important came up?
  • Can I learn to play my favorite songs on the drums?

Reviews for Concord drum lessons

Recent success stories from people in the Concord area.
Ashley R.
We were so lucky to have found Mr. Ali on this platform—he’s been a true gift to our family. My 10-year-old son has always loved creating beats by tapping on everything around him, and ever since he started taking Mr. Ali’s class, his love for drumming has only grown deeper. He now looks forward to his weekly drum class with so much excitement. Watching my son smile with pure joy while playing the drums feels like a gift to me as a parent. Mr. Ali is incredibly kind and patient. He’s also very flexible—whether it’s hand drums or a full drum set, he adapts beautifully to the moment and the student’s needs. His classes are not only fun but also full of depth and expertise, thanks to his real-world experience as a performing drummer. This isn’t just your average drum class—it’s a meaningful experience that’s become a special memory for our whole family. I couldn’t recommend Mr. Ali more highly.

My 7 year old son started taking piano lessons with Joey this summer. He is very knowledgable, flexible, my son loves taking lessons with him and is learning a lot. The setup is great and we have been able to have virtual piano lessons during the pandemic. He also provides recordings of each lesson. Highly recommend!
