What are StudioLoop Lessons?

The personal attention of studio lessons in a flexible format built around your week

StudioLoop lessons happen through personal video exchanges with your own tutor — the same expert tutors who teach every day at The Drum Studio. You practise and record whenever it suits you; your tutor watches, responds, and guides your next step. Real one-on-one teaching, shaped around your week.

Busy lives

You want to actually get better, not just fill a weekly slot. StudioLoop fits into your life, not the other way around.

Anxious performers

Playing live in front of someone can feel daunting. StudioLoop removes that pressure — send your video when you feel ready.

Outside the city

Great drum instruction shouldn’t depend on your postcode. Our tutors are Auckland-based, StudioLoop puts them in your corner regardless.

How it works - The Learning Loop

Expert attention, every step

Upload anytime — your tutor reviews every weekday

Practise and record whenever it suits you, including weekends. Everything you send goes into your tutor’s review queue and gets full personal feedback the next weekday or sooner.

01 TUTOR 02 YOU 03 YOU 04 TUTOR YOUR PACE
01
Kickoff videoTutor

Your tutor sends a personalised video and your next focus — a technique, a song, or a concept chosen for where you are right now.

02
You practiseYou

Work through it whenever suits you. There's no deadline. Some things click in a day — others need longer. Both are completely fine.

03
Upload your attemptYou

When you feel ready — not before — record yourself and send it through the StudioLoop message board.

04
Personalised feedbackTutor

Your tutor watches and responds with advice on what's working, what to adjust, a demo if it helps. Specific, honest, encouraging, personalised.

Repeat when ready. When you've nailed a step, your tutor moves you forward. The cycle continues at the speed that suits you — no calendar, no pressure.

Meet the tutors

Every StudioLoop student is personally matched with one of our tutors — a real person who gets to know your playing, your goals, and your taste in music. All of our tutors are expert drummers with years of professional playing and teaching experience, working with everyone from first-timers to advanced players. When you sign up, we review what you tell us and pair you with the tutor who best fits what you’re after.

Why founding pricing?
You’re joining the first StudioLoop intake — taught directly by me, the founder — and your feedback will shape how it evolves. In exchange, your $47.20/week rate is locked in for as long as you stay, even when the standard $59 price applies. Founding spots are limited and close once the first intake is full.

You need something to play on, but it doesn’t have to be a full acoustic kit. Electronic kits are perfect for StudioLoop as well, and if you’re just starting out, a practice pad is enough to begin building real technique and co-ordination — plenty of core skills start there. Your tutor will shape your lessons around whatever setup you have, and can advise you on gear whenever you’re ready to upgrade.

Just your phone. Prop it up somewhere it can see you and your kit, hit record, and upload straight to your StudioLoop chat from your browser. No special camera, microphone, or editing — your tutor needs to see and hear you play as is, not watch a production.

Every weekday, your tutor reviews everything you’ve sent and replies with personal feedback, video, text, screen recordings, whatever is needed — guaranteed by the next weekday at the latest, usually sooner. Uploads sent over the weekend are first in line on Monday.

Absolutely. Your tutor builds your lessons from wherever you’re starting, including from zero. Beginners often find recording at home more comfortable than playing in front of someone from day one — you get expert eyes on your playing without the nerves.

One of the expert tutors who teach every day at The Drum Studio. When you sign up, you’ll tell us about yourself and your goals, and we’ll personally match you with the tutor who best fits what you’re after. You’ll meet them on a video call within a weekday of joining.

Your subscription covers your tutor’s full attention on a structured practice cycle — typically two to three exchanges each week is plenty, which is the rhythm that produces the best progress. You can message questions anytime in between.

No. StudioLoop isn’t a video library you work through — it’s a real tutor teaching you one-on-one. Your tutor watches your playing, decides what you should work on next and how, and gives you personal feedback every step. Just like in the studio, they’ll sometimes use a great demonstration more than once — but what you learn, when you progress, and the feedback you get is always yours alone.
