What if you could learn to play the drums from the comfort of your home, in just one hour each week, without reading music?
Skip the hours of boring exercises and hop right into playing popular beats, learning drum fills and using patterns to create whatever you imagine.
I've created a drum instruction course that will guide you every step of the way - custom-designed to "trim the fat" away from traditional drum lesson curriculum.
Does this sound familiar?
"I want to learn the drums, but I get bored with all the repetitive exercises"
"I've tried to learn the drums before, but I never improved so I gave up."
"Private lessons are too expensive and don't work with my schedule"
"My child wants to take drum lessons but I just don't have the time."
"I want to learn the drums but I can't read music."
You're not alone... for years I've worked with parents and students who wrestled with these very thoughts and more.
They wanted to succeed at the drums but kept running into walls and were unable to reach their goals.
I want you to love the drums
I've been playing the drums for over 35 years.
From an early age, being able to play the drums well made me feel special and gave me a sense of identity.
The ability to play music filled me with confidence and pride.
As I got older, having gained skill and experience, I eventually started teaching drum lessons.
I quickly saw that traditional teaching methods weren't very exciting to me or my students.
Before long, I began to dread teaching each week because I saw the boredom in my students faces - knowing eventually they would quit.
Maybe you have tried to learn - but ended up quitting
Yet deep down inside, you still...
- Want to express yourself with music - making yourself and others happy.
- Want the confidence and pride that being good at the drums can bring.
- Just want to have fun and "jam" in your bedroom or with friends on the weekends.
- Believe deep-down that you can do this and be good at it.
- Want to invest in yourself and don't want to put it off another day.
- Want a skill that will be with you for the rest of your life - opening doors and opportunities for you.
I was tired of watching students lose interest...
Never sticking with it long enough to see progress
Being good at the drums was a bedrock of my life.
I wanted to help others feel that same joy and accomplishment.
"There had to be a better way to learn the drums..."
Many aspects of drumming are important but aren't crucial to the early stages of learning and can be put off until much later.
I asked myself, "What CORE drumming skills are needed to progress, yet would still be interesting and fun to students?"
I needed to create a course that...
- Had a step-by-step, direct path of noticeable progress.
- Focused on playing beats and fills as soon as possible
- Wasn't based on boring, repetitive exercises
- Required only MINUTES each day instead of hours each week
- Was much more affordable than private lessons
- Could be worked on at home, whenever it was convenient
- Didn't require reading music
I took a bold step and removed a lot of traditional lessons and exercises from my drum teaching curriculum.
I wanted to focus on what excited me about the drums when I started...
Learning beats and fills - playing along with songs
It didn't take long to see that I was on the right track and my students seemed happier!
I began to sense the feeling of pride and accomplishment as we would go through the lessons together!
Things began to "click" and I haven't looked back!
I finally came up with a solution that has worked for me, it's been working for my students...
NOW IT CAN WORK FOR YOU!

- You have tried to learn the drums before but have given up due to lack of direction or progress

This course is NOT for you if...
- You expect to improve without, at least, small amounts of practice and effort to follow the lesson plan. Some students refuse to put forth effort and therefore get frustrated and give up. I can't force you to follow my course, though I can tell you that IT WORKS!
- You insist that you must learn to read music to succeed. While some career paths and musical activities do require reading music, it is not a necessary skill to succeed at drumming. It simply depends on what your goals are. Many successful, professional drummers do not read music.
Student Success Stories
Keith
Keith was a Father and a full-time employee who didn't have a lot of spare time, but he had a deep desire to get good at the drums! He came to me hoping that eventually he would be good enough to audition for the church worship team. Keith had tried to learn before with mixed results, but once he caught on to the method of using the COUNT of the song as a map, things started to "click!" After several months of solid effort, I am proud to say that Keith is now playing on the worship team at his church and is loving the drums!
Colleen
Colleen is a 15-year old ROCK STAR who's talent has grown exponentially in just a year's time. She plays every day because she LOVES it, not because she is made to, and it shows in her playing! She has already devoured most of the material in my course and she is growing more hungry every day for more! Her understanding of fills and how to let the song dictate what should be played is incredible!
Soren
Soren hasn't been playing for too long, but already he is eager to learn and is getting better every week. His understanding and implementation of rhythmic blocks is wonderful. He loves to create new fills and patterns and always surprises me with creative additions to beats. He also practices almost every day, simply because he LOVES it!
