Before you begin working through the material below, make sure you register at drummery.com and join your Drum Coach's Drumming On A Dime group. You can do this by clicking the Bonus Videos from Your Coach link toward the bottom left of this page. Additional videos are not necessary so they may not be included. But still join the group if the coach has made it available.
This will give you access to community support, progress sharing, and your coach’s dedicated Drumming On A Dime environment. The main purpose of this group is to share your progress with likeminded drummers, ask questions, and so on.
Now here’s how to use what’s included - we will approach the same/similar subjects, ideas and concepts from various angles. So, go through them as presented here:
Step 1: The Budget Drummer’s Quick-Start Action Pack
This will take you through the entire concept quickly. It is presented as a focused 5-day fast-start process, but you can move through the core steps in an hour or less if you want immediate momentum. Follow the short video's in the document, (use your back button to return to the document). The written instruction in the Fast Action document will guide you through the initial process and introduce some basic drumming techniques. Resist the urge to move into more complex beats.
You will then approach the same ideas from another angle in...
Step 2: The Drumming On A Dime Main Document
This explains the Fast Action process in a more theoretically structured way. It is a clear 10-day overview that gives you the framework and the order to follow. Read the whole document before taking any actions.
You can then take actions by following the instruction in...
Step 3: The Drumming On A Dime 10-Day Email Sequence
These emails guide you step by step through the process. They help you dig deeper into each action point and give practical hints to ensure you apply the material fully and correctly. You will begin receiving the emails from your first day with us. So, be sure to save them as you go through Steps 1 and 2 above. You can then begin the process at your leisure.
Then, on day 10, you will gain access to...
Step 4: The Bonus Content Lessons
These are structured lesson previews taken from the main Drumming Foundation program modules (Modules 1 and 2) ... and include:
• Rock Drumming Introduction
• ¼ Note Rock Beat Lesson with fills
• 1/8th Note Rock Beat Lesson with fills

Each lesson includes written notation and an Audio Exercise Demonstration Loader. Enter the exercise number from the document, load it, and play along. You can loop exercises for controlled repetition. To load exercise 1, type 1 in the Exercise Number field and click the Load Exercise button.

Work through the material carefully. Stay disciplined. Build understanding first, then basic drumming control.

Special Bonus Preview – Foundation Course Access
As part of your Drumming On A Dime journey, you now have access to selected lessons from the Rock Drumming Foundation Course (Lessons 1 and 2) and Lesson 1 from the Jazz Drumming Foundation Course.
These are not random additions. They are structured preview lesson modules taken directly from the complete Drumming Foundation Program. Together, they expand your base training and help solidify your technical and rhythmic understanding beyond the core nine-day structure we covered in Drumming On A Dime.
Inside these lessons you will find:
Clear introductory chapters explaining each style (rock and jazz)
Written exercises and instruction presented in standard drum notation
A dedicated audio demonstration player (one per lesson)
To use the audio system:
Open the player
Type the number of the exercise you want to hear
Click “Load Exercise”
Press play
Each exercise runs for a couple of minutes and can be looped so you can practice repeatedly without interruption. Use this feature deliberately. Listen first as you read the exercise in the lesson documents. Then play along. Then repeat each exercise until your fundamental accuracy and control improves.
These preview lessons are part of the complete Drumming Foundation Program, available through your Drum Coach’s partner site - the coach who originally introduced you to Drumming On A Dime. If you decide to continue building your foundation in a more comprehensive, step-by-step format, that program is your natural next progression.
For now, treat these lessons with focus and respect. They are a powerful addition to your developing foundation.
