Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

Do I need to own a full acoustic drum kit?

Not at all! Many students start with an electronic drum kit, which is great for controlling volume, or even just a practice pad and sticks to work on rudiments and hand technique. Your tutor can advise you on the best setup for your budget and living situation.

What is the First Lesson Guarantee?

Your first lesson is your chance to meet your new tutor and make sure they're the right fit for you. If you're not completely satisfied, we'll find you another tutor for free. It's our promise to you.

How much do Drums Grade 1-3 tutors cost?

The price of a drum tutor varies based on their experience and qualifications. You can browse our tutors' profiles to see their individual rates, with prices clearly listed to help you find the perfect match for your budget.

I'm a complete beginner. Are these lessons right for me?

Absolutely. Our tutors specialise in helping beginners at the Grade 1-3 level. They are experts at building a strong foundation, teaching everything from how to hold the sticks correctly to playing your very first song.

How do I find the right Drums tutor for me?

You can use our search filters to find a tutor who matches your goals, budget, and availability. Watch their intro videos and read reviews from other students to get a feel for their teaching style before you book.

What happens in a typical online drum lesson?

Your tutor will likely start by warming up with some rudiments, then review what you practiced from the last session. The main part of the lesson will focus on a new technique, beat, or piece of music, with your tutor providing real-time feedback on your form and timing.

What equipment do I need for online drum lessons?

You'll need a stable internet connection and a device with a webcam and microphone (like a laptop, tablet, or smartphone). It's also helpful to position your camera so your tutor can clearly see your hands and feet on the kit or practice pad.

Can a tutor help me prepare for my Grade 1, 2, or 3 drum exams?

Yes! Many of our tutors are experienced in preparing students for graded exams from providers like Rockschool and Trinity. They can guide you through the syllabus, technical exercises, and performance pieces to help you ace your exam.

I'm worried about making too much noise. Any tips?

This is a very common concern! An electronic kit with headphones is the ultimate solution. For an acoustic kit, you can buy drum mutes or pads that significantly reduce the volume. Your tutor can offer plenty of advice on soundproofing and practising considerately.

How often should I have drum lessons?

Most beginners find that a one-hour lesson per week is ideal. This provides enough time to learn new concepts and gives you a week to practice them before your next session. However, you can arrange a schedule that works best for you with your tutor.

How much should I practice between lessons?

Consistency is more important than duration. Even 15-20 minutes of focused practice each day will lead to much faster progress than one long, rushed session right before your lesson. Your tutor will help you create an effective practice routine.
