I believe that drumming is a universal practice for joy, health, communication and discipline available for anybody...any age...any brain...any body.
I enjoy helping other people find the groove within them, strive to improve, and adapt their drumming regimen to make "the work" of drum practice feel more like the "play" of sport and meditation ... fun, free, and refreshing

Together we will go from basic coordination exercises all the way to advanced grooves. We will talk about the composition of a drum part to a song. Aside from drum set technique, we can also learn hand drum techniques. In a world where you can not always bring a drum set to every gig, we will learn how we use other percussion instruments to achieve the same feel as using a drum set.

Vir is beyond your typical vocal coach. He was a huge help on things like pitch accuracy and phrasing, but more than anything, his focus on getting me to tap into and harness my inner power has already paid huge dividends in my recordings and performances. Further, Vir is an amazing person to know and his home-studio in Berkeley is magnificent!

Over the past 12 years, we've given over 3,000,000 lessons to happy customers around the world.

My child was pretty new to drums and has advanced so far under the direction of Tom. He also has been a great support to bring him up to speed along with introducing him to new music and broaden his musical talents. I highly recommend Tom if you are looking for a teacher that's patient, offers fantastic lessons and is passionate about the instrument!"




I can’t speak more highly of Murray and highly recommend him."


He showed me basic techniques that I could understand and practice with music. I am happy that I met him."


Rates are very reasonable also."

Playing along with songs can be an effective learning technique, especially for drummers. With the background music in place, you can then practice different drumming styles, as well as practice staying in tempo, if that's something you're struggling with. Here is a recommendation from Jeff F., one of our Chicago drum teachers: As a working musician and teacher I have found playing along with recordings to be a valuable learning tool. Doing this enables you to really get inside …
