Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this teach me to play drums?
No. It focuses on drum tech work — setting up, tuning and maintaining a kit — rather than playing technique.
02Is there a streaming or download version?
This is the DVD edition. No online access code is included.
03Do I need special tools to follow along?
Nothing is included with the disc. Basic kit maintenance normally calls for a drum key and your own drums to work on.
04Is it useful for a beginner drummer?
Yes, if the goal is learning to set up and tune a kit. It assumes you own drums to work on.
