Why can't we just get people like this guy in TH-cam... Clear & Clean content, organized structure, no bullshit talking, no show-offs, no wasting time being "sub" commercial.. Completely informative and on the point.. Man channels like this are underrated... 🙄 Good arrangement just like explaining perc. arrangement!

I 'm French and watch your videos from France. They are very interesting and I can understand you easily.

Thanks immensely for this :) As a composer who isn't natively a drummer/percussionist, I get a lot of ideas on how to learn to think like one when adding in percussion, how the pick the instruments, what to play, and so on.

Kalani, I love your instruction. Sometimes I’m finding that I’d like to see/hear more frequent demonstration on what you’re explaining ~ good and useful information brother!

[@gahreen01]

Just sub’d. Been enjoying your instruction for a little over a month now, when I started playing djembe more. The way you take time to explain and emphasize listening makes a huge difference! Thanks.

Clean, usefull, but a little slow, sometimes you just take too much time, maybe some background music related to the topic of the video could be cool, or make some cuts to the video, and please, play live the instruments, in thet moment with a live example of playing and the trasition of each instrument etc... Your videos are great, i really enjoy learning with you... But they could be grater, big hug, i hope this lines help you to be better
