Brandon Goodwin: Professional Drummer, Educator, and Coach
Hey, I’m Brandon, a professional drummer, educator, and founder of Studio Drum MTL and the Drum Educators Network (DEN).
Over the years, I’ve been lucky to play on stages around the world, performing at major festivals and venues. I've shared the stage with Grammy-winning artists like Delfeayo Marsalis, Kebbi Williams, and Braxton Cook. But while those moments were exciting, the work I’m most proud of didn’t happen on stage, it happened in a small teaching room with a handful of students who reminded me why I fell in love with music in the first place.
I started Studio Drum MTL in 2016. At the time, I was gigging full-time and cleaning offices at night just to get by. Teaching wasn’t on my radar. Honestly, I thought it was something you did when you gave up on performing. That mindset stuck until the day my girlfriend convinced me to set up a booth at a local street sale. I resisted, thought it was a waste of time—but by the end of that weekend, I had 15 new students. That one event changed everything. It wasn’t just profitable—it gave me a glimpse into what building something meaningful really looked like.
Fast-forward to today, Studio Drum MTL has over 200 active students, three locations, ten teachers. We’ve built a thriving community of drummers, hosting regular performances and events.
Those experiences laid the foundation for the Drum Educators Network. I launched DEN to help drum teachers like you build thriving studios and fulfilling careers, without burning out or feeling like you’re doing it all alone. Through our coaching, resources, and step-by-step frameworks, I help educators attract more students, increase their income, and focus on what they love most: teaching drums and inspiring the next generation.
If there's one thing I’ve learned, it's that teaching isn’t the fallback plan—it’s one of the most powerful ways to make an impact. My mission is to help as many drum teachers as possible realize that for themselves.

Is This You?
You’re passionate about drumming and love teaching—but the business side of running your studio feels like a constant uphill battle.
Sound familiar?
You’re struggling to stand out in a crowded market, watching others position themselves as “experts” while you feel invisible.
You want to provide structure for your students but don’t know how to build clear progress pathways that keep them engaged long-term.
You’re overwhelmed by tech platforms, course tools, and marketing tactics—and just want someone to show you what works.
You feel isolated, without a community of like-minded teachers to bounce ideas off or get real support from.
You’re putting in the hours but still asking yourself: “How do I grow this into something sustainable?”
If you nodded at more than one of these…
You’re in the right place.
