Private Drum Lessons

We love the energy and power that Canada’s drummers bring to the music scene. Who wouldn’t want to sit behind the kit and learn from the best? Whether you’re a complete beginner or an aspiring drummer looking to sharpen your skills, taking lessons with one of Canada’s top performing artists is an experience that goes beyond the basics. You’ll learn directly from drummers who are actively playing, recording, and touring—artists who live and breathe rhythm.
Your lessons are one-on-one, personalized to your goals, and available either online or in person in Montreal or Toronto.
Below, you’ll find a list of our drum instructors currently accepting students. Our roster is always growing—so if you don’t see what you’re looking for, reach out! We’ll keep you in the loop as we welcome new artists. And if you’re curious about expanding your musicianship, don’t miss the chance to explore voice lessons or music production too.

Pricing
100 CAD / 60 min 60 CAD / 30 min
Drum lessons are offered at $100 per hour or $60 for a half-hour session (no tax on music lessons in Canada), and are tailored to meet you at your current level—whether you’re just picking up sticks for the first time or looking to expand your professional skillset. You’ll build strong fundamentals with a focus on proper technique, posture, grip, and coordination, while also learning to master rudiments (like single stroke rolls and paradiddles), develop tight grooves, and play along to your favourite songs. As your confidence grows, we’ll explore improvisation, musicality, and even advanced concepts like odd time signatures, polyrhythms, and double kick techniques. Each lesson is hands-on, practical, and designed to make you feel at home behind the kit.
As a drummer and audio engineer, I’ve worked on over 230 songs for nearly 50 artists and have toured and recorded extensively with the indie-pop band Peach Luffe—achieving 15 million+ Spotify streams and performing at major events like South by Southwest and CBC Live. With experience both on stage and in the studio, I bring real-world insight into every lesson. My teaching style is supportive and engaging, with the goal of helping you feel empowered, expressive, and musically free—whether you want to jam casually, join a band, or hit the stage yourself.
