The LeonDrums Method
The LeonDrums method works with a unique color system — every part of the drum kit has its own color. The hi-hat is red, the snare is white, the bass drum is orange. You see the color in the notation and know immediately where to hit — without having to memorize note positions.
Drum fills are divided into fruit names — like apple, watermelon, blueberry — making rhythm patterns easy to remember. Many students describe it as: “I finally understand how drumming works.”
What our students say
More than 25 years of experience — thousands of students went before you
“Great course. Enough repetition and step-by-step learning. The great thing is that you can play along with music right away instead of just practicing dry.”
“The online drum course from Leon has been my best decision in over 20 years. Through the color system on the drum kit you quickly know where to hit.”
“Incredible how you can learn to play the drums this way. I am currently 59 and have wanted to learn to drum since I was 20. Never thought it would still work for me.”
“Started at 53. Did not expect to be able to play along with songs so quickly. The advantage is that you can do it at your own pace, at the moment you want.”
“I am 62 and with the color system it is a great way to learn the basics of drumming. Very clear and well organized.”
“Almost finished the White Stick in one week — what fun lessons, very clear and with music! It feels like Leon is sitting right next to you.”
How does a drum lesson at LeonDrums work?
Every lesson at LeonDrums is built up the same way — so you always know what to expect and can focus entirely on drumming.
Motor and technique training
Every lesson starts with motor training and technique exercises — warming up your hands and feet, training coordination and building muscle memory.
Theory and songs
After the warmup you practice the theory for that lesson — always directly connected to the songs you will play. No dry theory without context.
New groove or fill
Every lesson introduces a new groove or fill. You combine these with what you already know — building your repertoire step by step.
Different tempos and music genres
You practice on different tempos and music genres to develop your skills even further. From rock to funk, from slow to fast.
Drum scores included
All exercises are found in the drum scores. Léon guides you through every lesson — with color-coded notes so you always know exactly where to hit.
Reading music notes — easier than you think
Never before has it been this easy to read drum music notes. The LeonDrums color system gives every part of the drum kit its own color — so you can read the notes without any prior music theory knowledge.
Every video lesson comes with the corresponding drum score underneath it. This way you can practice whenever it suits you — watch the video, read the colors, play along.
Most students are surprised how quickly they can read drum notes with this method — within a few lessons it becomes second nature.
Why should I choose the LeonDrums method?
Our drum course offers an easy and organized way to learn the drums at your own pace. The lessons are sorted in clear chapters so you can easily navigate to the next song or a faster tempo.
Each lesson continues where the last one left off — with the goal of making sure you will be able to play the corresponding groove, fill or song by the end of it.
The course has been developed over 25 years of teaching experience — refined lesson by lesson, student by student. It is not just a collection of videos. It is a complete learning path that takes you from zero to drummer.
With more than 194+ hours of lesson material across multiple levels — White Stick, Yellow Stick, Green Stick and more — there is always a next step waiting for you.
Frequently asked questions

No — the course starts at the absolute beginning. No musical background needed. The color method makes it accessible for everyone.

Yes — from teenagers to 60+. Many students start later in life and get further than they expected.
