Learn Advanced Drums Online From Expert Musicians
You’ve covered the basics, tackled the intermediate stuff, and now you’re staring at the next level wondering why it suddenly feels like your limbs have formed a small rebellion. Four way independence feels close but not quite there. Polyrhythms make sense in your head but fall apart somewhere between your left foot and your right hand. And there’s that quiet worry that the more you focus on technical precision, the more your playing starts to lose its feel. If you’re trying to learn advanced drums online, this is the moment where the right tutor changes everything.
A great tutor helps you get past that plateau and reconnect with the musical ideas you’re trying to express. They help you refine your sound, strengthen your timing, and shape your creativity so your playing feels intentional, not mechanical.

Lock in Your Rhythm and Technical Proficiency
At an advanced level, drumming becomes less about learning patterns and more about shaping a voice. You’re working on freedom of movement, improvisation, dynamic control, and how to turn rhythmic ideas into something musical. When you learn advanced drums online with someone who knows how to guide players at your level, you start to connect the technical side with the expressive side.
This is where you unlock the ability to improvise confidently, develop your own phrasing, and craft solos that feel like they speak. It’s the kind of growth that opens doors to pro level playing, recording sessions, or simply a deeper connection with the music you love.
Why Choose a Tutorful Advanced Drums Tutor?
There’s a big difference between someone who can play advanced drums and someone who can teach them. We keep the bar high by accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. You’re learning from drummers who have already navigated the same frustrations you’re facing, from odd time signatures to polyrhythmic layering to improvisational flow.
Your tutor gives you direct, personal feedback that you can’t get from pre recorded lessons. They’ll spot subtle habits that might be holding you back and build a plan around your musical goals. Everything is shaped to fit your style, whether you’re diving deeper into jazz fusion, tightening up your metal chops, or working toward professional auditions.
Learning advanced drums online means you get access to incredible tutors without needing to travel or reorganise your life around lessons. You can jump straight into working on the things that matter most to you, right from your own setup.

My son (6 years old) has had two lessons with Alex and has loved both.
He was very proud yesterdsy as he mastered 3 beats in one lesson!
Alex is great with him. Very calm, clear, knowledgeable and patient.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
What happens if I don't like my first advanced drums lesson?
Your peace of mind is our priority. With our First Lesson Guarantee, if you're not completely satisfied with your initial lesson, we'll find you another tutor for free. We're committed to helping you find the perfect mentor to elevate your playing.
Do I need my own acoustic drum kit for online lessons?
While an acoustic kit is ideal, it's not always necessary. Many advanced concepts can be effectively taught and practised on a quality electronic drum kit. Even a practice pad setup can be sufficient for working on specific hand techniques and rudiments. Discuss your setup with your tutor to see how they can adapt the lessons for you.
How much do advanced drums lessons cost?
The price of lessons varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Our tutors set their own rates, so you can browse profiles to find an expert who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile.
How do online drums lessons actually work?
It's simple! Lessons take place in our bespoke online classroom, equipped with video chat, a shared whiteboard, and file sharing. You'll set up a camera on your kit so your tutor can see your technique clearly, and they'll provide real-time feedback, demonstrations, and tailored exercises to help you progress.
What can I expect to learn in an advanced lesson?
Advanced lessons are tailored to you but often focus on breaking through plateaus. Topics can include four-way independence, polyrhythms, odd time signatures, solo construction, advanced groove concepts, improving your improvisational 'flow', and developing a unique musical voice.
How do I find the right advanced drums tutor for me?
You can use our search filters to find tutors who specialise in the genres or techniques you want to master. Read their profiles, check their reviews from other students, and message them beforehand to discuss your goals. This ensures you find the perfect match.
I feel like I've hit a creative plateau. Can a tutor really help?
Absolutely. This is one of the most common reasons advanced players seek a tutor. A great tutor provides a fresh perspective, identifies subtle technical or conceptual blocks you may not see, and introduces new ideas and frameworks to reignite your creativity and musicality.
How are Tutorful tutors vetted?
We have a stringent selection process. Only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted. We verify their ID, review their teaching experience and academic credentials, and ensure they have the expertise to help students at the highest level.
Can a tutor help me prepare for professional auditions or recordings?
Yes. Many of our tutors are professional session and touring musicians themselves. They can provide invaluable industry insight, help you prepare audition pieces, work on your studio technique, and build the confidence needed to perform under pressure.
What equipment do I need besides my drums?
You'll need a stable internet connection, a computer or tablet with a webcam, and a microphone. For best results, an external webcam that you can position to give your tutor a clear view of your hands and feet is highly recommended.
Can I learn a specific style like jazz fusion or progressive metal?
Of course. Many of our tutors are specialists in particular genres. You can use our search filters or read tutor profiles to find an expert in the exact style you want to dive deep into.
