Dipped in
I dipped into this as I’m new to groove3 and this was the first poorly reviewed video I found. I have to say I disagree with the other review wholeheartedly. This is good stuff and I like the delivery. I’ll come back to this. It’s kind of stick control on steroids. I also like that he’s on a kit. Pads are good for keeping up with technique. But really we’re about sound and it’s nice to hear how the snare responds. Different strokes for different folks. Pun intended.

Disappointing
Probably a fine player. Way too much talking and if your are doing things with your hands, consider using a pad rather than a drum. I think really good educators do not teach from their perspective. They teach principles of (drums) movement. There is already a plethora of very good information for free on how to use your hands.
