25+ years of progressive drumming experience, distilled into an easy-to-follow course.
The truth is, learning these skills can be hard and it’s easy to get lost – other online lesson resources and drum schools lose focus by attempting to cover all drumming styles – I focus specifically on progressive drumming.

TESTIMONIALS
Dylan – Drum student, USA – Drummer for 14 years
I am absolutely loving it. I spend 4 hours+ a night on your website, learning parts of Nocturne and looping the exercises. Your drum parts are not only flavorful but also extremely great exercises in building fluidity, dexterity, and limb separation. I can already tell that my timing is better (even using my left foot which I NEVER do), I’m feeling more relaxed and mobile, and I’m starting to use each limb in different ways. This is seriously some amazing content. I’ve bought lessons from other drummers but this website is 100% my favorite of them all.
Craig – Drum student, UK – Drummer for 17 years
I’ve been a student of Jay’s for quite a while now and I have loved every minute of it!! Jay is a fantastic educator who can break down a complex concept into easy-to-manage chunks. This website is amazing, the videos are incredibly detailed, very well produced and each segment is short enough to feel as though you are not bombarded with too much info. I particularly like the feature where you can loop and slow down each section, you can even speed them up if you are a crazy person!! He’s not bad at transcribing proper music notation either. Would rate 5 out of 4 polyrhythms 😉
Dave – Marketing Professional, USA – Drummer for 1 year
As a beginner drummer, I found learning and practicing on my own to be overwhelming. With Jay’s lessons, you are given bite-sized, easy-to-follow exercises that provide context for what you are learning. The ability to highlight and loop sections, and play the exercises at any speed, allows you to learn at your own pace and gives you full control over the courses.

One month in and I’m already feeling more confident with limb independence and technique.
I’ve played varying genres from classic rock and metal to reggae, but the intricacies of prog drumming have always given me my biggest challenge. I purchased the sheet music for TesseracT’s “Luminary” years back and had some luck learning enough of it, but this website brings a whole new level to drum education.
Jay breaks down incredibly complex segments into easy-to-digest sections and builds you up until the pieces fit together. Between the multiple camera angles, scrolling sheet music, and customizable tempo, there’s a combination suited for everyone.
This website is as close to in-person instruction from an industry pro as you can get. If you own drumsticks, I recommend signing up!
Give it a try!
All of the exercises I present can be easily customized to find the perfect starting point and speed for you. Simply use the speed adjustment setting on the video below to slow down, or speed up the video and music notation, in real-time.
You can also easily create looped sections too. Simply highlight the section you wish to loop and hit play (this works best in synthetic drum mode):
Ok, I’ve heard enough, I want lessons with Jay!
Glad to hear it! You have a few options:
