“Rob explains patterns in songs in a way that makes sense to any drummer, no matter what your level.”
Rob’s lessons are perfect for me as his videos are excellent. Rob Explains patterns in songs in a way that makes sense to any drummer, no matter what your level. The sheet music is easy to read and very helpful when my band is learning one of the songs.
He first plays a groove slowly with visual clues, then speeds it up so you can hear it in real time – it’s brilliant!
I recommend Rob’s lessons for anyone wanting to improve their drumming and have fun doing it.

“Rob really knows how to explain the detail of a song and break it down so that even a beginner like myself can benefit greatly.”
What a change in my attitude towards practice as well as an improvement in my ability since finding your instructional videos! I look forward to my time on the kit each day and have learned more in a few weeks then I ever imagined.
I’m hearing the music and beats more clearly and can even figure out beats and patterns on my own, something I could not do before practicing along to your videos. Rob really knows how to explain the detail of a song and break it down so that even a beginner like myself can benefit greatly from your instruction.
Thanks Rob, I look forward to learning more and more from you…rock on!

“Robert is so good at explaining a song and breaking it down note by note…”
I can’t believe how much I’ve improved in my technique and understanding in the few short weeks I’ve been watching Rob’s lessons.
Robert is so good at explaining a song and breaking it down note by note that if you are serious there is no possible way you wont improve as quickly as I have. His humorous personality keeps you interested and it’s never boring.
The accompanying drum charts, especially have been of tremendous help for me. I can put the song I’m working on while reading the chart and BAM…I’m playing it like never before.
I haven’t been thru all the lessons because there is SO much there…But…I will!!!!! And I won’t hesitate to purchase more material from him. I only wish he was in South Florida so I could take lessons from him personally.

“These lessons are INCREDIBLE and excellent value for money!”
With the little time I’ve had to browse through this massive collection of lessons I have already improved on my technique and have a better understanding of the theory side of drumming.
Best part is Rob manages to explain everything without you getting bored or switching off. I would recommend his lessons even if you are an advanced drummer.
These lessons are INCREDIBLE and excellent value for money!
100s of songs, 100s of videos, amazing selection of bands…how can you go wrong?
John Hiser – USA
“There’s years worth of instruction in these lessons…”
As an intermediate drummer, I greatly appreciate Rob’s approach to instruction.
The videos and charts are straightforward and comprehensive and so detailed that I can really work on those grooves to sound authentic.
There’s years worth of instruction in these lessons, and most importantly it’s the kind of lesson that’s most enjoyable and rewarding to work on.
Michael Prugger – Austria
“Great quality at a low price.”
These lessons should be a cornerstone in any drummers toolbox, who seriously wants to take his drumming skills to the next level.
Great quality at a low price.
Iihan Cohen – Israel
“Robert’s video lessons contain great detail both musically and technically.”
Robert’s video lessons contain great detail both musically and technically. Watching the video lessons has really improved my musical understanding as well as my drumming approach in playing those great songs.
On top of that, such amount of material in such a price is a great deal.
I’m definitely looking forward to more video drum lessons directed by Robert.
Nicolas Delatti – Belgium
“Roberts lessons are a great way to improve your drumming on your own, and this for a very little amount of money.”
Roberts lessons are just so valuable. You can see the difficult parts over and over again (and he explains it really good) and you can go at your own speed. You don’t have to force yourself to learn new material within a time limit.
In this way you become familiar with different styles of the worlds best drummers and afterward you can integrate those elements in your own style. So in my opinion Roberts lessons are a great way to improve your drumming on your own, and this for a very little amount of money
Darren Hale – UK
“I can’t recommend these lessons highly enough…”
I like Rob’s laid back often humorous approach to teaching and he explains the technical side of drumming really well. It’s great to be able to watch the videos at the same time as reading the sheet music.
I can’t recommend these lessons highly enough it really has helped me with my drumming and I’ve improved massively since using Rob’s lessons.
All I can say is keep up the good work Rob and keep those grooves coming!
Jim Steele – UK
“Robert, you are easy to listen to, disarmingly informal, and way to capable for your years!”
Raking through the Internet lately I came across ‘Drums The Word’, I spent a few days looking the site over and realised the uniqueness of it.
I’ve bought quite a few of Roberts products, and if you don’t me saying Robert, you are easy to listen to, disarmingly informal, and way to capable for your years! I think I hate you.
Your operation is personal and I honestly feel I can ask your help on whatever project I may be working on in the future (now refuse me).
Finally, yes I have a teacher but what I love is that I can also learn through Robert and when having a lesson drop something of Roberts in. My teacher is agog with my progress, preens himself and I quietly smile…all is well in my world.
Angel Celada – Spain
“…I think I will have years of fun with this material.”
I finally got your lessons and am very happy.
I’m a beginner drummer and I think I will have years of fun with this material.
Thank you for the easy step by step explanations!
Gary Wall – Utah, USA
“I have played some of these grooves incorrectly before, but now I know how to do them correctly.”
I love your teaching method and you make learning drum fills fun and easy. I have been playing for a while now and never really learned how to read drum music. Thanks to your system I have a better understanding of notes now.
What a great deal your lessons are, because it includes those beats and grooves I love. I have played some of these grooves incorrectly before, but now I know how to do them correctly.
Ed Weeks – USA
“These lessons are awesome and really a great deal for the price.”
I like the way that Rob breaks down the song and how easy it is to follow and how much material there is available. Also if you have any questions about any of the songs all you have to do is email Rob and he gets back to you very fast.
These lessons are awesome and really a great deal for the price.
I am totally satisfied and I am very excited to continue to learn and improve.
Tony Walsh – UK
“…he has a very natural, relaxed way of explaining things that makes the learning process fun.”
I’m just starting in drumming and wanted something to help me attempt playing some songs while I work at learning the rudiments. This website has turned out to be ideal for this because of the huge range of pieces to choose from.
The videos, sheet music and explanations are very detailed and easy to use. The best part though is Rob’s style in the videos, he has a very natural, relaxed way of explaining things that makes the learning process fun.
Even though I’m a complete beginner Rob explains things so well that I’m learning stuff that I hadn’t expected to be able to play at this stage. I’m very happy with all the material I’ve worked with so far.
Bob “Oink” Martin – UK
“Long live the fresh faced kid, he did teach an old dog new tricks. Thank you!”
I’ve always wanted to now what I was doing on my kit, sure I could copy and put my feel into any tune but didn’t have a clue about notation.
Then I stumbled on this fresh faced kid, who I hooked onto with his brilliant laid back funny attitude to the kit. Early days yet but I’m thinking of teaching to others so that they can have the pleasure I still get when performing.
The lessons are fantastic and I’m glad I got them. Long live the fresh faced kid, he did teach an old dog new tricks. Thank you!
Jason Watt – UK
“The full song tutorials are spot on and go through the tracks at a good pace.”
I recently purchased Rob’s lessons and have to say it was well worth it.
Having never had a lessons and being self taught I’ve learned through playing by ear and looking up odd bits on the internet to try out when I do practice, and having these lessons has been a great help.
The full song tutorials are spot on and go through the tracks at a good pace. There’s a whole bunch of tracks on here that I’m familiar with but there’s a few I’d heard and didn’t pay much attention to before but seeing them played makes them far more appealing.
I’ve seen a few ‘drum lesson’ type sites that sell packages but I’ve never really bothered, however this site seemed like good value.
Marc Tallica – Australia
“My first reactions were…WOW…MASSIVE…WOW… and “*£!% YEAH!””
Firstly I would like to thank Rob for this unbelievably impressive collection of material, and for the work that must have gone into producing it. Quality Quality Quality, and not to mention affordable.
Rob’s easy to understand video tutorials, lessons and drum charts have made my goal to become a drummer not only achievable but really enjoyable. His teaching methods are easy to understand and inspiring even for a novice like myself.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Rob for the level of service he provides…You feel like no question is too stupid to ask, and you always receive a quick professional response.
I still have 100s of things to learn from this site…so it’s time I sign off and spread the word…”Drums the Word” \m/
