Absolutely. Many students start on a practice pad and a pair of sticks — rudiments, stick control, and reading are all fully teachable this way. When you're ready to add a kit (electronic kits are apartment-friendly), your teacher can advise.
Electronic drum kits with headphones make silent practice possible, and mesh heads on acoustic kits cut the volume dramatically. Your teacher will help you choose the setup that fits your living situation.
Drum lessons on Musably typically range from $25 to $65 per hour. You only pay per lesson taken — no packages, no contracts.
Most beginners are playing simple 8th-note rock grooves along to their favourite tracks within three to four weekly lessons. Independence between limbs takes longer, and your teacher will build it steadily.
