I purchased the 26 week IME lesson pack several years ago… 2017 or so. In any case, that was my intro to DRUMEO. Five years later, and I’m still all-in with DRUMEO, relying daily on my annual EDGE subscription to keep me learning and challenged!
The range of topics and instruction is off the charts comprehensive, there’s no way to out-learn what the DRUMEO gang keeps putting out there. What a great way to never stop leaning and improving.
So, while I still make use of and genuinely enjoy regularly working one-on-one, in-person, with a couple of drumming pros here in Denver, my ability to successfully incorporate their added knowledge and instruction into my drumming has everything to do with DRUMEO.
You guys are great, thank you Jared for making your knowledge and passion available at such a reasonable cost.

Hey, BobbyB, AMAZING to hear that you've been with us for 5 years now! Students like you are what makes our Drumeo Community so incredible. Happy drumming, and reach out to us anytime - we're always happy to do whatever we can to help!! - Jenn, Student SupportNot only is this app great for the beginner but with deep resources an near constant exposure to accomplished drummers across the musical spectrum it is a must have imo.
Thanks to all involved.
I’m a former music business owner and piano teacher of 15+ years. I’ve seen good teachers and bad. Generally I’m not a fan of “online” lessons but these are LEGIT! Decided to take up drums a few years ago wish I’d had this app then when I had more free time. But I’m going to make time!
Love the lessons. Short sweet and to the point. The practice feature is GREAT. Has everything you need and the application with the songs keeps it fun and motivating.

Thanks so much for the amazing review! We're so happy to hear that you've been enjoying the lessons - shoot us a note anytime to support@drumeo.com if there's ever anything we can help out with! Happy drumming! - Jenn, Student Support When the app works, the lessons are great and it’s an excellent way to learn. The problem is, I’ve set this up twice now for a membership and it keeps randomly saying my membership has expired. I called support and they are very nice and very helpful but I’m sure you can appreciate the frustration. I sit down to drum and instead spend the next 45 minutes trying to solve a login issue. If it keeps happening, I’ll have no choice but to find another app to learn from.

Hey, Thefirelion! Oh no! 😣 We're so sorry to hear that you've been having this issue - we can totally understand your frustration! Can you shoot me an email to support@drumeo.com? I'd love to help set you up with something that should hopefully put an end to this for you so that you can get back to drumming and stop the troubleshooting! 🥁 - Jenn, Student SupportDrumeo is the best investment I’ve made into my drumming! I always know what to practice and the play alongs are literally a dream come true. To be able to read the music as you play along has been a key element to my rapid success on the drums. I’ve been on Drumeo for two years and I’m already in two bands, and I’m 50! 🤩 Thanks Drumeo!

Wow - thanks SO MUCH for taking the time to leave this amazing review! We're so, SO happy to hear about the progress that you've made in your drumming - and your musical career!! Happy drumming, and please reach out any time to support@drumeo.com to let us know how things are going - we'd love to get updates! :) 🥁 - Jenn, Student SupportJust thought I would review before jumping back in, I ready enjoy the lessons and the instructors.
It sounds good from the start but as soon as I open it, it tells me I have to pay for a plan. If the app was free then don’t make us pay because the only reason people like this app is because they have money, and the people that don’t have money won’t be able to use the app. Why not just make a lesser version of the app that doesn’t cost anything but has less quality than the original.
I’m enjoying the content and teaching style but I’m constantly interrupted by the bugs on the app.
The video player buggy and prone to glitching, freezing, dragging, and crashing whenever you attempt to press the 15sec forward button or do trivial things like plug in headphones. Attempting to rewind the play head will turn the video into a laggy mess forcing a reboot of the app.
When you come back into the app and want to pick up where you left off from the Home Screen, good luck. The resume feature rarely works and usually drops you several lessons back. Occasionally I’ll open Drumeo and find it has forgotten all my progress and shows I have zero points and tries to start me at lesson 1.
Generally, navigation is miserable and unclear. It feels impossible to get a top-down view of a module’s lesson plan and I found myself trying to scroll through pages (to get back to where I was, of course), and felt like it was just shuffling and reorganizing practices instead of simply scrolling through the practices chronologically. I also accidentally downloaded some course materials trying to navigate on the video player screen, when I quickly pressing the available delete button the entire app crashed.
Just a brutal user experience, but thank god the variable speed settings work reliably on the video player.
I might actually recommend Drumeo if I weren’t constantly swearing at this app.

Hey Sven13349, I'm sorry to hear you've been experiencing some issues with the Drumeo app! We do our best to address any issues within the app with our development team. Would you be able to email us at support@drumeo.com so we can investigate these issue further for you? We'd love to help find a solution to the issues you're experiencing! Talk to you soon :-). JennIf you want drum lesson perfection, Drumeo is for you! The best instructors, with the best content, the best guest drum instructors and a wonderfully planned out curriculum. You’ll progress through each lesson building confidence and skills. Love Drumeo!
Been drumming for 40 years. Been a member for 1 year and have learned more than ever along with improving my skills. In January of 2021 they added the “Coaches” which are 11 iconic drummers who go live for 1 hour / week. You either join live or watch the video later.
The “Method” is a curriculum you follow that guides you through the learning process. Again, iconic drummers are the instructors. Who better than that! It is professionally produced with several camera angles for demonstrating.
The entire staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Tech support is very good. This app is evolving and they are constantly improving it. Look no further for an excellent app to learn or improve your drumming. The app is free but there is a yearly fee to join & is well worth it. I highly recommend this app and educational website.
