[@woodnbassmentproductions1429]

Thank you!!!!
I started playing the drums at a church camp years back, but I never took any lessons. Now, I’m in my thirties and though I’ve progressed, I’ve always felt like there was something holding me back. I just didn’t quite have the control I needed.
This lesson blew the door open! All I needed was that simple breakdown of strokes explained in a way that made sense.
Cheers mate! Thanks for the level up!

Thanks Dwayne, appreciated

I like you, your demeanor, your pace, and your explanations. Of course, it helps that you’re very handsome, and with an accent, I could hardly focus on whatever it was that I was doing…oh yeah, learning drum strokes…lol
Ready for the next lesson, kind Sir!
