Learning a very basic rock beat on a drum set isn’t all too difficult; I’ve taught friends with no musical background to play a basic beat in about 30 minutes or so. Getting good at drums is another story. That takes years of practice, as is true with any instrument.
For every hour spent in drum lessons, you should spend two practicing on your drum pad. With dedication, aptitude and work, you will be able to learn the drums fairly quickly – say, 10 to 12 months to become proficient, and about 18 months to 2 years to get really good.
Average cost of drum lessons across the U.S. Private lessons typically run in the $10-30 range for a half hour of instruction. However, experienced or uniquely qualified instructors may charge up to $50 or more.
