A: Our classes can be downloaded weekly. You can also find them on our website. Learn on any device, anywhere, anytime. With lifetime access, there's no rush to become an amazing drummer!
★ Q: Do I have to follow the course dates?
A: No. This is your journey, to take at your own pace. You may find it more fun/interactive to learn with the group, or groove in your own time.
★ Q: What are the benefits of learning online with The FDA?
A: There are SO MANY benefits I don’t know where to begin! But just for starters, you get lifetime access, bonuses, learning at your own pace, support and new friends. All at a fraction of the cost of college courses/private lessons. Oh, and a 10% discount off two Cooperman drums.
★ Q: Do you offer a refund policy?
A: Yes. Our courses are completely risk-free. Drum for 14 days (from the date of the first scheduled download), and if, for any reason, you decide it isn’t for you, simply email us and we will refund you.
★ Q: When will these courses be offered again?
A: Currently we are open for enrollment just once a year, and we can’t confirm the date or format for 2026, but we do know that there will be a fee increase next year. So, the time to start your musical journey is now!
