When Drumeo was just getting started, going all the way back to the freedrumlessons.com days, Yamaha was one of the first major brands to take a chance on what we were building. They helped us get our first big artist. They gave us house kits when we needed them the most. They supported our clinics, VIP weeks, festival, and artist visits, and have been the presenting sponsor of the Drumeo Awards for the last four years.
Because of that history, today’s announcement feels less like a new partnership between Yamaha and Drumeo, and more like the official recognition of a relationship that has existed for over a decade.
Starting now, drummers who purchase qualifying Yamaha drum products anywhere in the world will receive a free 90-day Drumeo membership inside the box. There are no registration hoops, no credit card requirements, and no additional steps to worry about. Simply open the box and scan the QR code to begin learning.
This program includes both acoustic and electronic kits, as well as their EAD series.

Yes, this is correct. It is the first time Drumeo has ever included a 90-day membership with acoustic drum kits, and it is fitting that Yamaha is the first brand in the world to offer this.
Our goal is simple. We want drummers to start strong and stay inspired. Yamaha shares that goal, and this value-add amplifies the experience for every buyer.
We also believe that buying a drum set is only half the journey. The real progress begins after the purchase, when a drummer starts learning consistently and discovers the joy of structured practice.
Yamaha shares this belief.
Our values align in every way. We both want to create more drummers. We want to keep them inspired. We want to support them from the moment they purchase their kit. And we want them to stay committed long enough to experience the deep satisfaction of becoming a musician.
Back in 2016, we visited Yamaha’s factories and met the craftspeople who build these instruments. We have seen their approach to quality, culture, and long-term vision. We would not put Drumeo in these boxes if we did not stand behind the instruments inside them, or the people behind the brand.
With Yamaha’s global reach, this partnership becomes an opportunity to support new and seasoned drummers all over the world. It meets beginners where they are and gives experienced players a meaningful way to build new skills with the gear they already love.
This campaign is truly global. Any qualifying Yamaha drum set purchased in any region will include a Drumeo 90-day membership card in the box.
Drummers can scan the QR code on the included redemption card to activate their 90-day Drumeo membership. No credit card or registration required.
Drummers who scan the QR code receive instant access to:
We also know inventory cycles vary. For that reason, we are offering additional support.
If your kit includes the card, you are ready to begin.
If your kit did not include the card, simply email us with proof of purchase, and we will send you a code.

Yamaha builds exceptional instruments. Drumeo exists to help drummers grow and stay inspired. When these two worlds come together, drummers everywhere benefit.
Our goal is simple and heartfelt. We want more people to start playing drums, stay committed long enough to truly enjoy it, and eventually inspire the next generation of drummers to pick up the sticks.
This partnership helps make that possible.
