Preparing to succeed is the first step. Here are some things you can do to prepare for starting online drum lessons.
1. Understanding how to use Zoom. Setting up the camera so that I can see your hands and you can see me as well. Most students set up the laptop on a table to the high-hat side of the drum set. 2. You need to create a realistic schedule for practicing. This may take longer than you realise. But with realistic thinking it is possible. 3. Organize your drum space for productive work. 4. Fully understand the costs involved. 5. Tell all your significant others of your plans so that they can support you. 6. You will need to lean on your strengths when the going gets tough and life gets in the way. I'm a learner too, you can ask me how I organize my learning. Here's to learning. David

 Kristofer Maddigan, "Elite Syncopations" National Ballet of Canada 2022 What an inspiring night of dance and music. From mallets to drum kit, contemporary music to ragtime. Mallets and tom in the World Premiere of "Skyward" by Alysa Pires. We heard the music of Nico Muhly, Honstein, Dessner, and Lang.
In "Elite Syncopations" 40 minutes of Ragtime music, played at danceable tiempi instead of the usual frantic pace. I'm inspired. Off to hit the drum pads and my trusty xylophone. Concert attendance is one of the main ways I stay inspired as a musician and teacher. If your inspiration is lagging a little bit, buy a concert ticket and sit up close. It might be just the ticket.
