A drone flew over the left wing of our Diamond DV20 after completing steep turns. The drone was at an altitude of 3000 ft MSL. There was no position lighting or warning from ADS-B or TCAS. The drone was a 4 propeller drone and was directly over the end of the left wing. It was not seen again after flying in a 360. The position and altitude were reported to ZZZ Approach. The student in the left seat was able to identify the drone as something that appeared to a DJI Phantom drone.
