Meet your teacher!
I’m Andy Mac and I’ll be your drum teacher throughout your online learning experience on Drum 101. I’m from the UK and I’ve played drums for over 30 years. In that time I’ve played in many professional bands and taught thousands of lessons to students. I’m really excited to help you get started on this wonderful instrument!

My course is designed around the proven framework I used with actual face-to-face lessons. You’ll be studying exactly the same material I used for thousands of face-to-face lessons with my students. The lesson materials are all entirely bespoke and written by me – evolved over years of teaching students at beginner level.
How is this different from other online drum courses?
