Great for Starters or Starting Over people!
I'm not a true beginner, but more a multi beginner in small windows of time learning drums over past 10 years with lots of time in between. So, starting once again! I feel this video series is great for foundation work to start on, basic, but very important to not skip. Also, for the price, I considered it a good deal for how it will help me focus and practice. Left off one star as it could be longer and go farther into the learning process in steps, but I have other media for that I guess. Many deeper tutorials skip the beginning basics.

GREAT FOR BEGINNING DRUMERS!
I love music and play some keyboard, guitar, bass, and just received an electronic drum set for my birthday. I picked this video series because it starts with the basics. I can read music and know note timing and rests. So far I'm a few lessons in and I'm already playing the ride cymbal with the snare with the bass drum in a pattern! After I set up my drums I tried just playing both hands and kick foot and I couldn't even get anything to go together. After a few beginning lessons with this video I have hope. Hands and 1 foot came together. Next video will have me playing kick and high hat with my hands going too! I'm taking my time and going over each lesson until I can do what I'm supposed to. Really glad I started with this course and look forward to my next lessons! By the way, I play in a garage band in the early late sixties. You're never too old to learn new tricks!!!!
