A Unique Method for Success

Christian uses his proprietary and patented "D.I.Y Drumming Letter System" which is an innovative approach to drum notation that simplifies learning and ensures clarity by using letters instead of little tiny music notes. This system makes it easy to understand which drum to hit and when, even if you're new to reading music. The D.I.Y Drumming Letter System is designed for beginners but remains highly effective as you advance. 

As you grow in your drumming skills, transitioning to standard drum notation will feel seamless thanks to the strong foundation you'll build with the D.I.Y Drumming Letter system.

Testimonials

What our current students are saying:

Mary Stevenson

I'm so glad that I found DIY Drumming Online. I had previously tried 2 different drum teachers with in person lessons but their teaching approach didn't work for me.

I'm enjoying Christian's lessons and I can practice and load up the video lessons whenever I want to work around my busy work schedule.

George Nash

Absolutely loving DIY Drumming Online. The lessons are easy to understand and Christian's teaching style has given me the confidence to progress at my own pace. The video content is super informative and easy to follow along with.

John Devlin

Bought this course for my 11 year old son. He absolutely loves Christian's teaching style and has progressed significantly. When I asked my son what he enjoys the most, he said that Christian's "DIY Drumming Online Letter System" was easy to read and follow along with.

Helen McIntosh

Love this course from Christian and DIY Drumming Online. I love how I am not forced to commit to weekly lessons which is what happened with my previous face to face drum lessons. Sometimes my work schedule changes and I was missing too many lessons.

I practice whenever I can/want and I have 24/7 access to the video lessons on the website.
