Gameplay

The player, represented by an avatar named Anata (あなた^?; lit. 'You'), must copy Samurai Drummer's patterns, who plays as long as the player remains idle. The player needs to copy the patterns four times in a row successfully to "LEVELUP" and move on to the next part of the lesson.

Above the two is the Timing Lamp (タイミングランプ^?, Taimingu Ranpu), which flashes depending on the timing of each drum hit. The green in the center is "just right", while the farther off it goes, the lamp shows yellow, and finally red. Pressing START activates "SLOW" mode so the player can more easily analyze the patterns, although they cannot "LEVELUP" in this mode.

After completing a lesson, the player receives a rank based on how they did. The highest rank is an S rank, which requires 95 points or higher.

Controls

• : Hit middle drum with right hand
• : Hit kick drum with right foot

Timing Display

• Perfect!/Ace!^?: Anata correctly matches Samurai Drummer's pattern. The "LEVELUP" meter progresses forward accordingly.
• Early!/Late!^?: Anata drums slightly offbeat and doesn't properly match Samurai Drummer's pattern.
• Miss...^?: Anata drums entirely offbeat and fails to match Samurai Drummer's pattern. The "LEVELUP" meter moves backwards and Samurai Drummer gives a shrug.

Trivia

• The Studio uses the same area as Drum Lesson, but without Samurai Drummer or the Timing Lamp. Live uses the same controls as well, so the Drum Lessons can be considered a "Practice" of sorts for those modes.
• The Guitar Lessons in Rhythm Heaven and the Extra Games in Rhythm Heaven Fever occupy the same spot in their respective Medal Corners. The former serves a similar purpose to the Drum Lessons. In fact, the music for "Guitar Lessons" is a remix of "Drum Lesson Selection Music".
• The Timing Lamp on the top of the screen is similar to the Timing Display in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
• The unused Rhythm Game Tanuki & Monkey presents a different kind of drum lesson, hosted by Saru and Ponta by the Samurai Drummer's request.
• While Drum Lesson itself is absent from the arcade game, the music for the menu was repurposed for the name registration screen.
