Connor W. says, "I have been a student of Micheal Thompson for many years now doing multiple lessons a week and he has been amazing. He has taught me multiple styles, made me a way better drummer, and generally just a way better musician. Whenever he teaches me a song he doesn't just skim over parts like some other teachers I have had and instead goes deeply into the song and talks about the drummers style, influences, and even sticking. Even just talking about drums to him is very helpful and has helped me read drum sheet music better as well as play by ear to a song. The thing I like about him the most though is how he can turn a 45 minute lesson of him teaching a groove or a song and make it seem like you learned a lot in a short amount of time. I would definitely recommend him to other people who want to learn how to play the drums well." Read more

Your Online Drum Lessons questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.

How much do online drum lessons cost near me?

Online drum lessons cost $40 to $60 hourly. Remote drum classes save students the hassle of carrying their drum set to lessons or practicing on another's drums in a studio. A wider choice of drum teachers online lets you learn any drumming style you like in any time zone.

Are online drum lessons worth it?

Online drum lessons are worth it if you're serious about wanting to play drums like a pro or in front of people. Each lesson helps you improve quicker and builds good drumming habits.

A professional teacher will give you personal advice based on what you need to learn now to get to the next level.

How do online drum lessons work?

Online drum lessons work by letting you join a live and private meeting on a video-chat app. You need a place with fast Internet, lots of light, an adjustable camera, a microphone, and a quiet room where no one will distract you.

The teacher will correct your posture and technique while watching you play. However, the tutor may also ask you to record your practice sessions and send those videos to them for closer review so that they can give more in-depth feedback too.

How do I find the best online drum lessons?

You can find the best online drum lessons for you by browsing our listings on the Lessons website. Plus, you could ask for online drum lessons from private teachers at music schools, music stores, or community colleges.

If you're looking for a drum teacher near you, remember to:

  • Compare the prices of at least 3 drum instructors.
  • Ask for a list of their past students that you can speak to for references.
  • Read their reviews on Lessons and Google.
  • Ask other parents if the teacher is good with kids.
  • Get a written deal and schedule before your first lesson.
  • Only pay for a month of lessons after you're sure the teacher is right for you.

What questions do I ask when choosing an online drum teacher?

Select a drum teacher for online lessons by using this checklist of questions:

  • How long have you been teaching drums online?
  • What music degrees do you have, and are the drums your favorite instrument?
  • Which video-chat platform do you use, and can I record the lessons?
  • What ages do you typically teach?
  • Can I have a free or discounted trial lesson to see what it's like?
  • What type of drum should I get if I don't have one?
  • How much should I practice between sessions?

  • Will I get homework like memorizing drum sequences?
  • Can you change your teaching style for how I learn best?
  • What will I need to have with me for each class?
  • How long is each lesson?
  • What types of drum styles or music genres do you know best?
  • Can I get a copy of the schedule, our deal, and payment details?

My son Hunter and Waylon have been taking drum lessons from him for 7 months now. He is very patient with them and breaks down the lessons where my kids can understand. I was worried how it was going to go with zoom, but it is like he is there.

Knowledgeable and friendly staff! Alexis is absolutely spectacular with my busy and wiggly 5yo boy. She engaged him in a way that helped him pay attention and have fun. The front staff is friendly and kind. Absolutely recommend Capella!
