The Incredible "Shortcut"
To Mastering The Drums From The Comfort Of Home...
"They All
Laughed When I Said I Was Going To
Play Like Buddy Rich - Without Ever Leaving Home To Learn A Lick...
But That All Changed When I Was Playing Them Under The Table In Just
Weeks!
Why would anyone
pay $40-60/hr, travel up to an hour from home and be kicked out of the
practice room 5 minutes before your lesson is even over (to shuffle
in the next student), when you could learn as much as you want,
any time you want and anywhere you want for next to
nothing?

Attention
Drum Enthusiasts and Friends,

Dear Friend,
If you're the least bit frustrated
about the progress you've been making as a drummer, or ever thought
that you couldn't play or read like the pros... I'm about to prove you
wrong!
Or maybe you've been held
back from learning the craft because of long work hours (with no time
to schedule a lesson - nevermind practice) - or are just a little too
gunshy to sit down with a pro and show them where you're at (which you
should never be)...
Maybe there aren't any places
to get a lesson close enough to home - or worse... you've taken lessons
and found out that there are some instructors out there that just see
you as a paycheck, and are more concerned with getting you out the door
so they can get to their other gig (which is delivering pizzas), to
cover the bills!
It's crazy - but I've known
a few!
My name is Mike Purvis, and
I was every bit as frustrated as you. I actually picked up the drums
"late in life" (like late 20's), but it was one of the best
decisions I ever made and I confess... I'm an addict! But I ran into
some time crunches and had some difficulties getting instructors to
teach me what I wanted.
Every instructor had an outline
they followed and it was mostly a "do this and then we'll
talk" kind of a relationship (which took a lot of the fun out of
it).
Eventually I really
lucked out and found an
instructor that was excited to help me master the drumkit - he lived
and breathed the drums!
He
Was Like... "What Do You Want To Play and How Fast Do You
Want To Get There?" And Then Taught From A Customized Plan
That Worked For Me!
As you can imagine, this changed
how quickly I was learning as well as how much fun I was having while
doing so.
I still to this day take lessons
from the same Instructor, and given the choice between going elsewhere
or paying 10 times as much for my lessons - I'd pay the difference!
My Instructor's name is Paul Donahue.
I'll tell you a bit more
about how Paul can change the way you look at drumming, and the results
you can expect to get in just a sec. Paul if you're reading this I'd
prefer you didn't raise my rates :)
But first
a bit about me and why...
Under
No Circumstances Should You Take My Advice About How To Play
The Drums! Ok, I'm Serious About This And Here's Why...
I am by no means a drumming
ninja (but Paul is beyond ninja - like if Bruce Lee were to have chops...
yeah, kinda like that)!
As a matter of fact, I'm more
of an enthusiast than a guru, and that's cool by me. I play for the
fun of it... no intentions of playing for a big name band or anything
like that (besides I don't think my family would like me travelling
all year :)
But I love drumming and the
challenge of it all - the extreme coordination involved, the timing,
and just "garage banding" a tune - love it!
But what I am good at is helping
people use the internet to improve their lives. I design tools and services
that help online marketers have greater success with their businesses
and websites (and ultimately make more money, and spend less time working).
And it just dawned on me right
after a lesson one night - I was like, "It's really too bad more
people don't have access to such great instructors... too bad it can't
be this much fun for everyone. I mean I've never had such incredible
results with my playing - Oh SNAP!"
And then I knew...
I mean I only run an entire
business helping people to get online... like duh! So I suggested
Paul "replicate himself" and bring his teaching style online
so that others could benefit. I was like, "Just do what you do
best, and I'll handle all the details of helping to put your methods
and skills in the hands of anyone who wants to get better, faster."
And Paul was like, "Hey,
if you think I can reach more people and show them how to get the results
they're after - I'm totally for that!"
And so the Instant Drum Lessons
project was born...
"I've
Never Met Anyone More Passionate About Helping You To Get Exactly
Where You Want To Be With Your Drumming. It Happens So Quickly And With
Such Little Effort - It's Incredible!
Hopefully, if you've landed
here after browsing through the site, then you already know a bit about
Paul, and why you absolutely should listen and learn form him. If you
heven't already discovered, Paul has accomplished many great things
in his drumming career, and is building out that list almost daily.
Here's a quick peek into his
BIO:
| Paul has been playing drums
for the past 16 years and teaching for over a decade. While open
to many styles of music, his favorites include Jazz,
Funk, Rock and Soul.
He currently performs with many groups including Elsa Cross,
Rock My Soul, Amorphous Band,
FunkyTown, Todd Royce, Eric
Chase, Joe Gattuso, Steve Carter,
and various other ensembles. Playing with such a wide variety of
bands has afforded Paul the opportunity to perform with many national
acts such as Maceo Parker, The Headhunters,
Corey Glover, The Radiators, SemiSonic,
Chris Duarte, Tim Reynolds, Johnny
Winter and members of The Commodores.
He has toured up and down the East Coast from the tip of Maine to
Southern Florida. He has played on 9 albums, and
continues to perform and practice his craft daily. |
Paul is a credit to his trade
- and you'll see that from many of the testimonials spread throughout
the site as well.
There are a host of reasons
that Instant Drum Lessons is unlike any other drumming program online,
and we'll cover many of those in just a moment, but perhaps one of the
biggest things that sets us apart is the accessibility you have to connect
with not only the other members of the site - but also with us.
As a Member of Instant Drum
Lessons, you'll have access to the Private Members Only Forums where
some of the coolest drummers online hangout and share freely of their
tricks, ideas and yes... even questions :)
But even more than that are
the Members Only calls we line up where you get on the line with students,
experts and us to get your questions answered real time - and also to
share freely of your ideas and experiences.
This
Type Of Community Is Invaluable If You're Looking
To Improve Fast...
But as I'm
sure you've already guessed... that's just the very beginning of what
you'll receive by becoming a member.
I should probably
stop right here and mention... once you start drumming - you'll never
want to stop (don't say I didn't warn you). And if you're already playing
- here's another heads up...
Once you become
an Instant Drum Lessons member - your chops might catch on fire, and
you'll start playing with a level of skill and passion you probably
never even knew you had in you! It's true - and because of that you'll
probably find that you'll never want to quit - so rock on my friend...
we'll be hammering out the beats right beside you :)
Doesn't matter
if you've never lifted a stick in your life, or if you've been playing
for 10 years spending 8 hours a day in the shed perfecting your chops
- you're still going to get better by becoming a member!
There's just
no way around it.
So what the
heck makes IDL such an incredible community?
That my friend,
is the question I've been wanting to answer!
Here
Are A Few Of The Biggest Obstacles Our Customers Said Prevented Them
From Becoming Drumming Wizards - And How The IDL System Totally Eliminates
Each And Every One Of These Roadblocks.
 |
"I
just don't have the time to learn."
This is one of the biggest ones we
hear, and the reasons sound legit (but they're bogus...
give me a minute and you'll see why).
They range from: I'm too busy with
classes, work, taking care of the kids, cooking, cleaning, partying
(ok, maybe there's one good one :)
But you get the point. Now here's
why none of these things are an obstacle any longer...
|
 |
Instant
Drum Lessons is available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day and 365
days a year.
Most of our training videos are under
5 minutes and use a practical "do this now" approach.
Try telling me you can't fit in a couple of 10 minute practice
sessions in the course of a day and I'm gonna say... "yeah
right!"
Watch the video, practice along (and
then for another few minutes), and get back to what it was you
were doing. You'll be surprised how quickly the results start
showing - most of our customers are :)
And all that aside... unlike conventional
Instructor based lessons where you're on someone else's schedule
and "locked in" for a time (that's usually tough to
stick to - believe me I know), with IDL you can work on your chops
and check in with us any time it works for you! |
|
|
"I
can't afford to learn to play the drums."
Another tough one to argue without
checking in on your last years tax return. But as you can guess,
I'm gonna say - "nope, that's not really a good reason either."
Check it out...
|
|
We want
you to play - and we've made it so anyone can squeeze it into
their budget! It just doesn't get any less expensive than this...
Ok, so here's the deal... If you're
completely new to drumming and don't even have a pair of sticks
yet, I can see you being a bit timid about the cost to pick up
the addiction. But here's the skinny:
If you have a kit already - awesome!
If not, you don't need one to start learning to play.
I guess in reality, you don't need anything outside of an IDL
membership to get started :)
Go widdle a pair of sticks out of
that old chair in the closet (just make sure they're matched weight),
fire up the computer and let's start sheddin' some rudiments!
The beauty of Instant Drum Lessons
is that we put everything you'll need to know to start building
wreckless (in a totally intentional way), chops right away, without
needing any fancy equipment or gadgets, training manuals. etc.
With conventional methods you'll
need a car, and probably insurance (you know... to get to the
lesson), gas, books, sticks, a metronome (nope you don't even
need one of those with us. I'm telling you - we've got you covered)!
It's crazy! So if you want to do
your part in saving the planet at the same time as building your
skills - go digital and let us show you how how to crank out the
beats!
If you're like me, you've already
checked the price - but in case you have the patience of a ninja
master, let me just say this - an entire month's membership at
IDL is no more than a half our session with an instructor - even
a bad one :)
And with your membership, you get
a whole lot more than just drumming instruction - but I don't
want to get too far ahead of myself... |
|
|
"I'm
too nervous to play in front of other people - even just for lessons."
Listen, welcome to my world! I was
totally in your shoes too, and I hear where you're coming from.
I overcame my fear because at the time there were no other options.
It was either do nothing and keep wishing I could play, or just
suck it up and go...
Fortunately for me I was able to
work through it, but there are many people who just want to learn
to play "for themselves" and I'm behind you a hundred
and ten percent * - and now you can!
* (although I strongly urge you to
play with other musicians - it's an incredible feeling and I wouldn't
want you missing out!)
|
|
As an
IDL member you'll be able to get involved as much (or as little)
as you want.
We're building a drumming community,
and you'll be able to interact at any level you feel comfortable
with. Talk with other people who had the same reservations about
playing in public - see how they worked through it...
Chat with people who just play because
they love it - no band or gig night... just building killer chops
so they can be like "check this out... ra-ta-ta-ta-tat...
ta-tat-tat" (when I was writing this that was actually a
very long segment - I cut it down just enough so you would get
the point... ba-ding-ding... da-da-ding-ding, ca-cha...)
I digress.
But you get the point. Don't let
your fears stop you from trying something you've always wanted
to do. You can learn to play - and once you get to the level we'll
be driving you to - you'll want to show off a bit! |
|
|
"I'm
just not sure drumming is for me."
Ok, not sure I need to go very far
on this one, but for the sake of being thorough I'll pipe in just
a bit.
Actually... maybe I won't - just
because the answer is already so obvious and you already know
what I'm going to say, and I don't want to bore you, and...
You know what - I think I will...
|
|
There's
no better way that I know of to see if drumming is for you, than
to try InstantDrumLessons.com - period!
First off, it's the smallest investment
you can ever make when "testing the waters". And second...
it's the least "intrusive" way to check out the whole
scene too (see above "reasons why").
But here's my take...
If you've read this far, then it's
clear that you truly want to play the drums - and you owe it to
yourself to give it a shot. There's no question in my mind that
you'll be glad you did!
|
Ok,
So As You Can Clearly See - There's Really No Reason You Can't Do Yourself
This One Favor And Start Playing Today!
When I was a kid I always
wanted to play... I can remember asking for a drumkit when I was just
a mini me, but it just never happened for one reason or another. Then
when I got older, life kicked in and I just got busy - kinda put it
aside...
Then in my mid-twenties I
started hanging out with a super talented musician (hey Timmy, cheers
to you my man!), and he was like - "Dude - don't be lame! You can
afford it, and your neighbors can deal... I'm taking you after work
and you're getting a kit!"
Of course I hemmed and hawed
and all that - but there was no saying no at that point (and honestly
I was totally stoked about it)! So that was it for me. I needed that
push - and if you need one too...
consider yourself
pushed!
I've been happier every day
since I snagged that first kit (there have been many since - I'm kind
of a drum gear junkie as well). And every time I get up from the kit
I have this incredible sense of accomplishment - even from landing the
simplest new lick... it's really rewarding - you'll see!
All I'm saying is, if you're
on the fence you'd be doing yourself a terrible injustice if you didn't
at least give yourself the chance to start...
So anyway - all that aside,
let's talk about...
Exactly
What You Get As An Instant Drum Lessons VIP Member
And Yes, All Our Members Are VIP's!
 |
MEMBER
BENEFIT #1 - The Lesson System
Ok, this is where it
gets fun! Membership at IDL is about way more than just giving
you a bunch of great lessons to get you ramping up your chops
- it's way more! But let's start with what makes our lesson system
unique first...
We've laid out our lessons
so that you'll stay engaged no matter what your skill level -
let me explain.
When you first log in
to the members area, you'll see a left hand navigation panel -
this is where the lessons live. The lessons are divided by skill
level - but also, right at the top, there's a QuickStart Panel.
This serves two purposes - first, it will get you familiar with
how to navigate the members area, and second, it will prep you
for jumping into the Beginner Lessons.
So there will be videos
in the QuickStart that everyone should watch regardless of experience
(just to make sure you get the most form the members area and
don't miss any cool stuff).
Next we have the Beginner,
Intermediate and Advanced training areas - cleanly laid out so
you can go through a progression just as you would if we were
right there with you.
Each section includes
lessons on rudiments, reading music and drumset exercises specific
to that level.
But here's the really
cool part about the IDL lesson system...
you
can quickly and easily "filter" the lessons list to
display only those things you're interested in right now!
Just want to work on
your chops... pull up the intermediate rudiment exercises and
go to town! Only have 15 minutes and want to take a crack at an
advanced drumkit routine... go for it (good luck)!
No system that
I know of offers a cleaner training system than IDL.
We've put a lot of time into making it work as close to a
live experience as possible - putting you in control while
still keeping you working in a progressive fashion that wil have
you improving at the fastest possible rate.
And of course you can
do lesson searches and all that good stuff.
Oh yeah... one more
thing on the lessons - and this is a big one!
We haven't just posted
a bunch of material for you to master an then be left hanging...
we continually add new material for all levels. Drumming is a
life long adventure, and there is always something new to learn
- there will be more and more content added week to week. But
don't worry...
because of our organized search and filter system, you'll
never be lost or overwhelmed!
It's
super important to us that you find the system easy, and fun to
use - and we're sure you will!
|

MEMBER
BENEFIT #2 - Q A Calls & Expert Interviews
This one is enormous all in itself
- and one we're pretty excited about bringing your way as a new
member! It's actually two parts...
Incredibly Powerful Member Only Q & A Calls
Every month we host Question and
Answer calls where you'll have full access to us and
other members to talk about roadblocks you might be running into
- or maybe even breakthroughs you've had that you want to share
with everyone else. These calls are completely free and anyone
can join!
As an IDL member, you'll have full
access to all of the pre-recorded calls... from the very
first call, the most recent one - there to listen to any time
you want! It's an incredible source of invaluable information
you can draw form to overcome nearly any drumming hurdle.
Many of our members learn as much
from listening to others who have been where they are and struggled
as they have, than they do from practicing hours on end - this
is good stuff!
Listen, drumming is a sport - and
team sports are always more fun right? Point is, you'll have plenty
of support if you ever need it, and we're active in making sure
you get the results you're after.
And another call related bonus...
Access
To The "Interview The Expert" Call Series
We'll be doing routine calls with
some pretty famous and big name people - you won't want to miss
even one of these! Priceless tips and tricks will be dropped and
you'll get insight into the art of drums and drumming that you
never even imagined!
These are benefits you simply can't
put a price on, but when you see what membership will cost you
- you'll say we're crazy (and you might be right)!
|
|
MEMBER
BENEFIT #3 - The Newsletter & Bonus Content
Every
month we'll be releasing fresh new content that only our members
have access to.
It could be our Newsletter,
a tips and techniques report, a bonus interview or transcription...
...new licks, drum
charts, training manual, physical product...
And I could roll
that list out for quite a while - but what I mean is that we'll
be releasing great "put it into action now" content
on a regular basis that only you'll be able to check out!
|
|
MEMBER
BENEFIT #4 - The Forums & Other Drummers
Ok, I mentioned this one a little
earlier - but we've built one of the best drumming forums online,
and we're going to be filling that up with members in a hurry!
So that means more people to bounce
ideas off, share experiences with and just hang out with. There's
a lot to be said for hanging out with like minded people with
similar interests :)
Now you don't have to watch your
mom or your wife's eyes glaze over as you start talking about
this new lick you're working on.
We're here for ya'!
There are a ton of other benefits
to joining today, but we don't want to spoil all the surprises
:) |
Ok,
So I Guess Now It Just Comes Down To "How Much?"...
I know you've been waiting
in suspense - wondering how much it's all going to set you back... well,
prepare to be happily surprised (and no, we haven't lost our minds)...
Your Membership
is just an incredibly low $9.97 a month
(but only if you act quickly - read below).
Right now you can sign up
for the insanely low price of just $9.97 a month (I repeated it so you'd
know it wasn't a misprint), and your membership will continue uninterrupted
for as long as you choose to remain an Instant Drum Lessons member.
Every month you'll get all
the incredible content we mentioned above, plus a whole lot
more (but we don't want to spoil any surprises), and you'll be automatically
billed $9.97.
Of course, you can cancel
anytime you wish, but trust me... you won't want to! Once you start
getting better and better - faster than you ever thought possible, you'll
be hooked! Heck, you might even realize what a steal this is and want
to pay us more money (just refer a friend instead - we'd rather get
more people raving about the site)!
And if you're thinking even
for a second that you might not get what you're paying for, then fret
no more (would be a good pun for a guitar site :)
 |
Here's
Our Unconditional 100% "Fully Satisfied Or Your Money
Back" Guarantee |
Helping
You Become A Better Drummer Is Our Only Mission At InstantDrumLessons.com
...and if for any reason
(any reason at all - you don't even have to tell us what it
is), you don't feel like we've delivered on our promise to help
you, and deliver content above and beyond what you've
paid for - then we don't deserve your money.
It's that simple.
If you decide you don't want to
continue your IDL membership, you can easily cancel your membership,
and you'll never be charged another dime.
In fact, we'll go one step better...
if during the first 60 days you're not completely satisfied
with how we've treated you, then you can request a refund of
your LAST month's payment, even though you've already learned
all the skills and used all of the materials!
How's that for more than fair?
We want you to be 100% happy with
your membership, and if you're not, we'll make it right immediately.
