I'm taking some online lessons right now, via Skype, with actual instructors. These lessons are not for drums, but I think the same ideas would apply.
My guitar instructor has his camera positioned so that I can see his guitar, both hands, and mine is set up the same. Sometimes he'll call out my technique and show me how to better approach the fret board. Moments like this are highly valuable, and something you cannot get from a pre-recorded lesson or video.
With my Music Theory instructor, it's mostly face-to-face on Skype, although he will sometimes move his camera so that I can see a whiteboard, or we move cameras to have views of piano keyboards. Skype sometimes has bad moments between US and France, even during what might be a low-traffic time.
In both cases, these instructors had me answer some questions ahead of time, so that they could determine my proficiency / skill / knowledge level, and then customize the lesson to fit what I'm seeking.
I'll certainly watch videos, and enjoy DRUMEO. They have some great information. But if I ever have questions, I'm not certain they'll get answered, and anything I might be doing wrong will never get noticed or addressed.
Videos are great, but an instructor, in person or online, is next level.
