Frequently asked questions
Where should I start?
If you're new to drums, start with the Groove Builder series. It will teach you the foundations of drumming through simple step-by-step exercises and play-alongs.
What is the Drumlife Player?
DLP (Drumlife Player) is Drumlife's easy-to-read colour-coded learning system. It shows you exactly what to play and when, without needing traditional drum notation.
Do I need to read music?
No. Drumlife is designed to help you learn without traditional music notation.
What do the colours mean?
Each colour represents a different limb. See the Drumlife Key above for a full breakdown.
What do Series, Practice and Play mean?
Series teach new concepts and skills. Practice helps you build technique and coordination. Play lets you apply what you've learned with backing tracks and play-alongs.
Should I use the Slow, Medium or Fast tab?
Start with Slow. Once you can play comfortably and consistently, move on to Medium and then Fast.
Do I need an acoustic drum kit?
