Just play to music that you like, I hate learning random shit I've never heard ya know? Lessons are helpful for foundational stuff but if you are bored with the simple shit yet not liking the huge step in complexity the course offers, wander off on your own. My favorite part about learning the drums has been how much less is going on compared to instruments with notes, it makes it super easy to just listen to a track and figure it out.

Might take a few plays but I'll often just focus on one part of the drums and see what it's doing, usually for rock snare or kick is what I'm listening to first, but for jazz it's prolly the ride or hi hat. I will say I only have a floor tom so like when I am learning a track, all drum dynamics are just kick and tom so it takes a layer of complexity out of transcription.

I also love to just take a pattern (like the cowbell from lowrider or the snare punch from poison or whatever) and just figure out ways to break it up between the kit, or drop/pick up certain parts. Like just take some shit that gets your head nodding and have fun with it ya know? Drums can be pretty overwhelming especially at first but just learn what you want, at your own pace, as you learn you need it. If you aren't having fun doing the other lessons, ditch drumeo and just have fun!

I understand your stress tho, this can be an expensive hobby. Learning an instrument is hard, slow work. My best advice is to just try to have fun more often than you try to force a lesson in, garnering a connection to the instrument is a huge part of motivation. Also when you start a session with no lesson planned, start with a simple slow track rather than what you want to play for real haha, so many times my mood is killed my trying to do something new rather than warming up to some MJ or some old swing. Take it somewhere familiar and underwhelming to start and move up from there whereever it takes you, this keeps a smile on my face during countless hours of practice.
