“I was skeptical at first because of the price, but I can't tell you how glad I am to have started drum lessons with Cameron. I've never been so proud of my drumming."
Aaron Ford, TX
“Cameron has been amazing at crafting a lesson plan that is completely customized to my needs. I highly recommend Cameron's lessons to any drummer.”
Why These Drum Lessons Actually Work
Stuck in a rut with your drumming?
You’re not alone. Maybe you’re self-taught and hitting a plateau, or you’ve taken lessons before that just didn’t deliver.
I get it — we spend so much time on this craft. It’s frustrating to feel like you’re spinning your wheels. That’s where I come in.
What Makes This Different
I’m Cameron Carbone, full-time drum educator and co-founder of Paragon Drums with Clay Aeschliman of Polyphia. I’ve taught over 500 drummers, logged 25,000+ hours teaching and performing, and built a curriculum focused entirely on real, lasting progress — not fluff.
With fully customized 1-on-1 lessons, I help you break through what’s been holding you back — whether it’s:
• Hand speed
• Foot speed
• Technique
• Groove/fill creativity
• Chops
• Odd time
• Ghost notes
• Performance anxiety
• How to play/learn songs
• Getting gigs
• Or even building a drumming brand online
Currently accepting drummers at any level: beginner, intermediate, or advanced.
Lesson Formats
You can train with me:
• In-person at my Garland, TX studio (equipped with multiple full kits and pro gear)
• Or virtually via Zoom or FaceTime from anywhere in the world

Why My Students Make Fast Progress
Because lessons are built around you. No generic approach. No random YouTube rabbit holes.
And you’ll have more support than 99% of teachers offer — including:
• 24/7 access to me via text/email for questions
• Free video critiques between lessons
• Access to exclusive Google Drive resources
• Gear discounts + 100% off Paragon education products
• A connection to my professional music network
• And most importantly… the fastest drumming progress you’ve ever had — or your money back
Lesson Pack Options
All lesson packs include the perks above and require a 6-month commitment to ensure a strong foundation. After that, they roll month-to-month (most students stay 1–4 years).
Waitlist Options (If Fully Booked)
If all spots are currently full, you can join the waitlist to be notified as soon as a lesson slot opens up.
Spots are limited, and I keep my roster intentionally small to give each student the attention they deserve.
Ready to Break Through?
My roster stays full 98% of the year, and just a couple slots are available now.
Take a chance on yourself — and on me. You won’t regret it.
Or email me directly at ccarbonedrums@gmail.com with any questions.
