“My biggest hurdle with commiting to in person lessons was that it was hard to work around my ever changing work schedule. DIY Drumming Online enables me to learn and practice whenever I can and Christian's way of explaining things as well as his DIY Drumming Letter System makes it super easy to learn and progress "
Massimo Turino, IT
"This was the first time I have tried to learn an instrument online. I was not sure at the start but once I buy the first course, I am very happy. The teacher Christian is very good and I can understand his letter system very easily"
Garrett Johnson, USA
“I've tried in person lessons and have tried learning online from some of the big online drumming websites. What makes DIY Drumming Online unique is Christian's easy to understand DIY Drumming Letter System. I also really liked that there was no subscription service. Once I purchased each course, I could access it any time. I love how I am progressing.”
Filip Larsen, Norway
"This is the best thing I have ever done for myself. I honestly thought I was too old to learn an instrument, and learning online made me worried, however I decided to try DIY Drumming Online. Once I developed my coordination and my first Rock Beat, I had a very big smile on my face."
