Am I too old to learn drums?

You might think it's impossible to learn to play the drums as an adult, especially when you have so many things going on in life—but it all depends on your goals. If you're aiming to play like drumming legends such as John Bonham or Neil Peart, then, no, you won’t be able to replicate their mastery in a week. ;^)

Perhaps you have very little time to put into practice but you simply want to be able to play along to your favorite songs.

Our Busy Adult Beginner Starter Guide breaks down exactly what you need to learn to be able to play along to thousands of popular songs.

What if I’m not naturally coordinated?

It’s completely normal to wonder if you can learn to play drums if you don’t feel naturally coordinated. The good news is that coordination can be achieved with the right method when learning the drums.

The Busy Adult Beginner Drumming Starter Guide is step-by-step instruction that offers clear and easy-to-follow instruction suitable for anyone, regardless of experience. If you’re a complete beginner and want a program that takes only a few minutes a day, this program breaks down each lesson into simple, manageable steps using the Coordination Blocks method that has helped hundreds of my private students progress quickly and confidently.

With just 10 minutes a day, you’ll be able to play along with your favorite songs and start feeling like a real drummer. Or, grab a friend and have a jam session!

If you would you prefer a teacher and a drum community of students that are also learning…
