From Rudiments to the Main Stage: Where Drumming Can Take Your Child
Mastering the drums is about so much more than keeping time. It’s the key to joining that first band, feeling the buzz of a live gig at a Hastings venue, and building a portfolio that stands out for creative courses. The discipline of learning fills and paradiddles builds focus and resilience, whilst the creativity of playing with others teaches collaboration and confidence. It’s a skill that builds character they'll carry into everything they do, whether on stage or off.

Joel F
Engaging Drums tutor
Hello my name is Joel, and I have been playing drums and guitar for 20+ years. I started my musical journey at the age of 2 and self-taught drums until the age of 7 and then from the age of 7 I began taking music to the next level with advancing with drums.

Mariel M
Mariel is a good and patient teacher. She explains things well and the lessons run at the students pace. I progressed quickly as we worked on both grade pieces and drum rudimentals/technical exercises.
When I had technical difficulties during a lesson, Mariel was patient and worked around the issue. Mariel was very helpful and we covered a lot of content in a few weeks.
I highly recommend Mariel as a drum teacher to new students.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child goes to The Hastings Academy/Ark Alexandra Academy. Can a tutor help them prepare for a music course at East Sussex College?
Absolutely. That’s a perfect goal for our tutors. They can provide focused, one-to-one coaching on the specific techniques, theory, and performance skills needed to build a strong portfolio and prepare for auditions, complementing their school music lessons with specialist support.
How can an online tutor help my child get ready to join a band in the Hastings music scene?
Our tutors, many of whom are active musicians, can mentor your child on the practical skills of playing with others. This includes learning to keep solid time, understanding song structures, developing improvisation skills, and building the confidence to audition and perform live.
Is online tutoring for a practical skill like drums really effective?
Yes, it's surprisingly effective! With high-definition video and audio, tutors can clearly see and hear your child’s technique. They often use multiple camera angles to demonstrate hand and foot positioning. The focused one-to-one environment, free from distractions, allows for deep concentration on the nuances of playing.
What equipment does my child need for an online drums lesson?
Your child will need their drum kit (acoustic or electronic), a device with a camera and microphone (like a laptop or tablet), and a stable internet connection. Their tutor will guide them on the best camera setup so they can see and be seen clearly.
What if my child doesn't click with the first drums tutor we try?
Finding the right mentor is essential. We have a first lesson guarantee, so if it doesn't feel like the perfect match, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How do you make sure your drums tutors are high quality?
We're very selective. Every tutor is interviewed, background-checked, and has proven expertise in their field. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child learns from passionate, experienced, and vetted professionals from across the UK.
My child is a complete beginner. Is online tutoring suitable for them?
Definitely. Our tutors are brilliant with beginners. They can start with the absolute basics, like how to hold the sticks and play the first simple beat, building a strong and positive foundation in a supportive, encouraging environment.
How much do online drums lessons for a student in Hastings cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you have complete control and transparency.
How flexible are the lesson schedules?
Very flexible. Because we connect you with tutors across the UK, you have a much wider choice of available times. You can easily find a tutor who can schedule lessons around your child's school, clubs, and your family's busy life.
How quickly will we see an improvement in their playing?
With consistent one-to-one attention, many parents notice a change quickly – not just in technical skill but in their child's confidence and enthusiasm for practice. The goal is steady, sustainable progress that builds a lifelong love for music.
Do you offer tutoring for other instruments or music theory?
Yes, we do! We have a wide range of expert tutors for subjects beyond the core curriculum, including guitar, piano, singing, music theory, and even music production. It's a great way for your child to explore all their creative interests.
My child is a complete beginner. Is online tutoring suitable for them?
Of course. Tutoring is all about your child's personal goals. If their aim is simply to enjoy playing their favourite songs and build confidence, their tutor will create fun, engaging lessons that focus on the pure joy of making music.
