The Incredible 'Shortcut' To Mastering The Drums From The Comfort Of
Home...

"Finally, A Proven System That Allows Anyone To Learn To Play The Drums
Like A Pro - Without Ever Leaving Home!

Why pay $45 a session, travel up to an hour from home and be kicked out
of the practice room 5 minutes before your lesson is even over, when
you could learn to master the kit any time you want - any where you
want - for FREE!

Mike Purvis

Paul Donahue

Attention Drum Enthusiasts and Friends,

From the thrones of Paul Donahue and Mike Purvis (okay... Mike's at a
desk - more on that in a minute...

Click Button To Play

Dear Friend,

If you're the least bit frustrated about the progress you've been
making as a drummer, or ever thought that you couldn't play or read
like the pros... I'm about to prove you wrong!

Or maybe you've been held back from learning the craft because of long
work hours (with no time to schedule a lesson - nevermind practice) -
or are just a little too gunshy to sit down with a pro and show them
where you're at (which you should never be)...

Maybe there aren't any places to get a lesson close enough to home - or
worse... you've taken lessons and found out that there are some
instructors out there that just see you as a paycheck, and are more
concerned with getting you out the door so they can get to their other
gig (which is delivering pizzas), to cover the bills!

It's crazy - but I've known a few!

My name is Mike Purvis, and I was every bit as frustrated as you. I
actually picked up the drums "late in life" (like late 20's), but it
was one of the best decisions I ever made and I confess... I'm an
addict! But I ran into some time crunches and had some difficulties
getting instructors to teach me what I wanted.

Every instructor had an outline they followed and it was mostly a "do
this and then we'll talk" kind of a relationship (which took a lot of
the fun out of it).

Eventually I really lucked out and found an instructor that was excited
to help me master the drumkit - he lived and breathed the drums!

He was like... "What do you want to play and how fast do you want to
get there?"

And Then Taught From A Customized Plan That Worked For Me!

As you can imagine, this changed how quickly I was learning as well as
how much fun I was having while doing so.

I still to this day take lessons from the same Instructor, and given
the choice between going elsewhere or paying 10 times as much for my
lessons - I'd pay the difference! My Instructor's name is Paul Donahue.

I'll tell you a bit more about how Paul can change the way you look at
drumming, and the results you can expect to get in just a sec. Paul if
you're reading this I'd prefer you didn't raise my rates :)

But first a bit about me and why...

Under No Circumstances Should You Take My Advice
About How To Play The Drums!

Ok, I'm Serious About This And Here's Why...

I am by no means a drumming ninja (but Paul is beyond ninja - like if
Bruce Lee were to have chops... yeah, kinda like that)!

As a matter of fact, I'm more of an enthusiast than a pro, and that's
cool by me. I play for the fun of it... no intentions of playing for a
big name band or anything like that (besides I don't think my family
would like me travelling all year :)

But I love drumming and the challenge of it all - the extreme
coordination involved, the timing, and just "garage banding" a tune -
love it!

The interesting part of the story is that I design tools and services
that help people achieve greater success with their online businesses
and websites (and ultimately make more money, and spend less time
working).

Well it just dawned on me right after a lesson one night - I was like,
"It's really too bad more people don't have access to such great
instructors... too bad it can't be this much fun for everyone... I mean
I've never had such incredible results with my playing!"

And then I knew...

"Oh SNAP!"

I mean I only run an entire business helping people to get online...
like duh! So I suggested Paul "replicate himself" and bring his
teaching style online so that others could benefit.

I was like, "Just do what you do best, and I'll handle all the details
of helping to put your methods and skills in the hands of anyone who
wants to get better, faster."

And Paul was like, "Hey, if you think I can reach more people and show
them how to get the results they're after - I'm totally for that!"

And so the Instant Drum Lessons project was born...

I've never met anyone more passionate about helping you to get exactly
where you want to be with your drumming.

It Happens So Quickly And With Such Little Effort - It's Incredible!

Hopefully, if you've landed here after browsing through the site, then
you already know a bit about Paul, and why you absolutely should listen
and learn form him. If you heven't already discovered, Paul has
accomplished many great things in his drumming career, and is building
out that list almost daily.

Here's a quick peek into his BIO:

Paul has been playing drums for the past 16 years and teaching for over
a decade. While open to many styles of music, his favorites include
Jazz, Funk, Rock and Soul. He currently performs with many groups
including Elsa Cross, Rock My Soul, Amorphous Band, FunkyTown, Todd
Royce, Eric Chase, Joe Gattuso, Steve Carter, and various other
ensembles. Playing with such a wide variety of bands has afforded Paul
the opportunity to perform with many national acts such as Maceo
Parker, The Headhunters, Corey Glover, The Radiators, SemiSonic, Chris
Duarte, Tim Reynolds, Johnny Winter and members of The Commodores. He
has toured up and down the East Coast from the tip of Maine to Southern
Florida. He has played on 9 albums, and continues to perform and
practice his craft daily.

Paul is a credit to his trade - and you'll see that from many of the
testimonials spread throughout the site as well.

There are a host of reasons that Instant Drum Lessons is unlike any
other drumming program online, and we'll cover many of those in just a
moment, but perhaps one of the biggest things that sets us apart is the
accessibility you have to connect with not only the other members of
the site - but also with us.

We openly field your questions in a personal, responsive manner... We
share useful content and tips to help you 'high speed' your training,
and we genuinely care about your progress.

This Type Of Community Is Invaluable If
You're Looking To Improve Fast...

But as I'm sure you've already guessed... that's just the very
beginning of what you'll receive by becoming a member.

I should probably stop right here and mention... once you start
drumming - you'll never want to stop (don't say I didn't warn you). And
if you're already playing - here's another heads up...

Once you become an Instant Drum Lessons member - your chops might catch
on fire, and you'll start playing with a level of skill and passion you
probably never even knew you had in you!

It's true - and because of that you'll probably find that you'll never
want to quit - so rock on my friend... we'll be hammering out the beats
right beside you :)

Doesn't matter if you've never lifted a stick in your life, or if
you've been playing for 10 years spending 8 hours a day in the shed
perfecting your chops - you're still going to get better by becoming a
member!

There's just no way around it.

So what else makes IDL such an incredible resource?

That my friend, is the question I've been wanting to answer!

Here are a few of the biggest obstacles our customers said prevented
them from becoming better drummers - and...

How The IDL System Totally Eliminates Each And
Every One Of These Roadblocks.

"I just don't have the time to learn."

This is one of the biggest ones we hear, and the reasons sound legit
(but they're bogus... give me a minute and you'll see why).

They range from: I'm too busy with classes, work, taking care of the
kids, cooking, cleaning, partying (ok, maybe there's one good one :)

But you get the point. Now here's why none of these things are an
obstacle any longer...

Instant Drum Lessons is available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day and 365
days a year.

Most of our training videos are under 5 minutes and use a practical "do
this now" approach. Try telling me you can't fit in a couple of 10
minute practice sessions in the course of a day and I'm gonna say...
"yeah right!"

Watch the video, practice along (and then for another few minutes), and
get back to what it was you were doing. You'll be surprised how quickly
the results start showing - most of our customers are :)

And all that aside... unlike conventional Instructor based lessons
where you're on someone else's schedule and "locked in" for a time
(that's usually tough to stick to - believe me I know), with IDL you
can work on your chops and check in with us any time it works for you!
_______________________________________________________________

"I can't afford to learn to play the drums."

Another tough one to argue without checking in on your last years tax
return. But as you can guess, I'm gonna say - "nope, that's not really
a good reason either."

Check it out...

We want you to play - and we've made it so anyone can squeeze it into
their budget! It just doesn't get any less expensive than this (yes. it
really is FREE!)...

Ok, so here's the deal... If you're completely new to drumming and
don't even have a pair of sticks yet, I can see you being a bit timid
about the cost to pick up the addiction. But here's the skinny:

If you have a kit already - awesome! If not, you don't need one to
start learning to play. I guess in reality, you don't need anything
outside of an IDL membership to get started :)

Go widdle a pair of sticks out of that old chair in the closet (just
make sure they're matched weight), fire up the computer and let's start
sheddin' some rudiments!

The beauty of Instant Drum Lessons is that we put everything you'll
need to know to start building wreckless (in a totally intentional
way), chops right away, without needing any fancy equipment or gadgets,
training manuals. etc.

With conventional methods you'll need a car, and probably insurance
(you know... to get to the lesson), gas, books, sticks, a metronome
(nope you don't even need one of those with us. I'm telling you - we've
got you covered)!

It's crazy! So if you want to do your part in saving the planet at the
same time as building your skills - go digital and let us show you how
how to crank out the beats!

If you're ready to put Instant Drum Lessons to work for you - then it
won't cost you a single penny - honestly. We want to help as many
people as possible, and because of that we've removed the 'price of
entry' obstacle completely and made IDL a FREE members site!

And with your membership, you get a whole lot more than just drumming
instruction - but I don't want to get too far ahead of myself...
_______________________________________________________________

"I'm too nervous to play in front of other people - even just for
lessons."

Listen, welcome to my world! I was totally in your shoes too, and I
hear where you're coming from. I overcame my fear because at the time
there were no other options. It was either do nothing and keep wishing
I could play, or just suck it up and go...

Fortunately for me I was able to work through it, but there are many
people who just want to learn to play "for themselves" and I'm behind
you a hundred and ten percent * - and now you can!

* (although I strongly urge you to play with other musicians - it's an
incredible feeling and I wouldn't want you missing out!)

As an IDL member you'll be able to get involved as much (or as little)
as you want.

We're building a drumming community, and you'll be able to interact at
any level you feel comfortable with. Talk with other people who had the
same reservations about playing in public - see how they worked through
it...

Chat with people who just play because they love it - no band or gig
night... just building killer chops so they can be like "check this
out... ra-ta-ta-ta-tat... ta-tat-tat" (when I was writing this that was
actually a very long segment - I cut it down just enough so you would
get the point... ba-ding-ding... da-da-ding-ding, ca-cha...)

I digress.

But you get the point. Don't let your fears stop you from trying
something you've always wanted to do. You can learn to play - and once
you get to the level we'll be driving you to - you'll want to show off
a bit!
_______________________________________________________________

"I'm just not sure drumming is for me."

Ok, not sure I need to go very far on this one, but for the sake of
being thorough I'll pipe in just a bit.

Actually... maybe I won't - just because the answer is already so
obvious and you already know what I'm going to say, and I don't want to
bore you, and...

You know what - I think I will...

There's no better way that I know of to see if drumming is for you,
than to try InstantDrumLessons - period!

If you've read this far, then it's clear that you truly want to play
the drums - and you owe it to yourself to give it a shot. There's no
question in my mind that you'll be glad you did!

There's Really No Reason You Can't Do Yourself This
One Favor And Start Playing Today!

When I was a kid I always wanted to play... I can remember asking for a
drumkit when I was just a mini me, but it just never happened for one
reason or another. Then when I got older, life kicked in and I just got
busy - kinda put it aside...

Then in my mid-twenties I started hanging out with a super talented
musician (hey Timmy, cheers to you my man!), and he was like - "Dude -
don't be lame! You can afford it, and your neighbors can deal... I'm
taking you after work and you're getting a kit!"

Of course I hemmed and hawed and all that - but there was no saying no
at that point (and honestly I was totally stoked about it)! So that was
it for me. I needed that push - and if you need one too...

consider yourself pushed!

I've been happier every day since I snagged that first kit (there have
been many since - I'm kind of a drum gear junkie as well). And every
time I get up from the kit I have this incredible sense of
accomplishment - even from landing the simplest new lick... it's really
rewarding - you'll see!

All I'm saying is, if you're on the fence you'd be doing yourself a
terrible injustice if you didn't at least give yourself the chance to
start...

So anyway - all that aside, let's talk about...

Exactly What You Get As An Instant Drum Lessons VIP Member
And Yes, All Our Members Are VIP's!

MEMBER BENEFIT #1 - The Lesson System

Ok, this is where it gets fun! Membership at IDL is about way more than
just giving you a bunch of great lessons to get you ramping up your
chops - it's way more! But let's start with what makes our lesson
system unique first...

We've laid out our lessons so that you'll stay engaged no matter what
your skill level - let me explain.

When you first log in to the members area, you'll see a left hand
navigation panel - this is where the lessons live. The lessons are
divided by skill level - but also, right at the top, there's a
QuickStart Panel. This serves two purposes - first, it will get you
familiar with how to navigate the members area, and second, it will
prep you for jumping into the Beginner Lessons.

So there will be videos in the QuickStart that everyone should watch
regardless of experience (just to make sure you get the most form the
members area and don't miss any cool stuff).

Next we have the Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced training areas -
cleanly laid out so you can go through a progression just as you would
if we were right there with you.

Each section includes lessons on rudiments, reading music and drumset
exercises specific to that level.

But here's the really cool part about the IDL lesson system...

you can quickly and easily "filter" the lessons list
to display only those things you're interested in
right now!

Just want to work on your chops... pull up the intermediate rudiment
exercises and go to town! Only have 15 minutes and want to take a crack
at an advanced drumkit routine... go for it (good luck)!

No system that I know of offers a cleaner training system than IDL.
We've put a lot of time into making it work as close to a live
experience as possible - putting you in control while still keeping you
working in a progressive fashion that wil have you improving at the
fastest possible rate.

And of course you can do lesson searches and all that good stuff.

Oh yeah... one more thing on the lessons - and this is a big one!

We haven't just posted a bunch of material for you to master an then be
left hanging... we continually add new material for all levels.
Drumming is a life long adventure, and there is always something new to
learn - there will be more and more content added week to week. But
don't worry...

because of our organized search and filter system, you'll never be lost
or overwhelmed!

It's super important to us that you find the system easy, and fun to
use - and we're sure you will!

MEMBER BENEFIT #2 - Q & A Calls and Expert Interviews

This one is enormous all in itself - and one we're pretty excited about
bringing your way as a new member! It's actually two parts...

Every so often we host Question and Answer calls where you'll have full
access to us and other members to talk about roadblocks you might be
running into - or maybe even breakthroughs you've had that you want to
share with everyone else. These calls are completely free and anyone
can join!

Many members learn as much from listening to others who have been where
they are and struggled as they have, than they do from practicing hours
on end - it's powerful stuff.

And another call related bonus you'll have immediate access to...

Access To The "Interview The Expert" Call Series

We'll be doing some deep-digging calls with many of the 'underground'
and cutting edge musicians of our time - you won't want to miss even
one of these!

Priceless tips and tricks will be dropped on each call, and you'll get
insight into the art of drums and drumming that you never imagined
possible!

These are benefits you simply can't put a price on.

MEMBER BENEFIT #3 - The Bonus Content

We'll also be releasing fresh new content that
only IDL members will have access to.

It could be our Newsletter, a tips and techniques report, a bonus
interview or transcription...

...new licks, drum charts, training manual, physical product...

And I could roll that list out for quite a while - but what I mean is
that we'll be releasing great "put it into action now" content on a
regular basis that only you'll be able to check out!

And there's so much more...

Ok, So I Guess Now It Just Comes Down To "How Much?"...

If you've been reading closely, then you already know the answer to
this question. If you missed it, then I know you've been waiting in
suspense - wondering how much it's all going to set you back... well,
prepare to be happily surprised (and no, we haven't lost our minds)...

As a Limited Marketing Test, we're allowing the next [DEL: 250 :DEL]
217 members unrestricted access to the entire Instant Drum Lessons
system... for FREE! (but only if you act quickly - read below).

Right now you can sign up for the insanely low price of just $0 a month
(I repeated it so you'd know it wasn't a misprint), and your membership
will continue uninterrupted for as long as you choose to remain an
Instant Drum Lessons member.

Of course, you can cancel anytime you wish, but trust me... you won't
want to! Once you start getting better and better - faster than you
ever thought possible, you'll be hooked! Heck, you might even realize
what a steal this is and want to pay us - which is cool, but just refer
a friend instead - we'd rather get more people raving about the site!

And if you're thinking even for a second that you might not get what
you're paying for, then fret no more (would be a good pun for a guitar
site :)

Helping You Become A Better Drummer Is
Our Only Mission At InstantDrumLessons

...and if for any reason (any reason at all - you don't even have to
tell us what it is), you don't feel like we've delivered on our promise
to help you, and deliver content above and beyond what we've promised -
then we don't deserve your membership.

It's that simple.

If you decide you don't want to continue your IDL membership, you can
easily cancel at any time - quickly and easily, from right inside the
private members' area.

We want you to be 100% happy with your FREE membership, and if you're
not, we'll make it right immediately...

So, at this point there should be no question left... there's never
been a better time to get started, and there's absolutely no risk on
your part.

We've assumed all the risk, because your drumming success is our
success - and our system works! There's nothing more rewarding than
helping to fulfill someone elses dreams, and we absolutely love being a
part of that.

So let's get started right away... and get the ball rolling right
now... with lesson one.
