Drum Lessons NY – in New York City and Online

Welcome to my Drum Lessons NY website! My name is Matt Ritter, and these pages are chock-full of information about my approach as a drum instructor in New York City and online.  Since it could easily take hours to read everything on this website, I will offer a brief overview here.

I began teaching drum lessons in New York, NY in 1996. Since then, I have worked with hundreds of students and taught many thousands of drum lessons. NYC being as diverse as it is, I have been able to work with people from all walks of life. Of course, the majority of my students are beginners hoping to learn to play the drums. However, I have also given drum lessons to professional NY drummers, an indie rock star, a Latin Grammy Award nominee, and a major international drumming celebrity. Whatever the level and goals of the student, I do my best to make our drum lessons productive and fun!
