Straightforward; well thought-out. The two cameras really help me see what he is teaching.

-Rick Hammarstrom

Really great! Lot of fundamentals for any percussionist. I learned the basics of drumming and then jumped between lessons for other perc. when I needed to know something. Well communicated and great additional material (scores for training).
