    I just randomly found this channel, algorithm probably started with Bo Beats, then Gabe Miller, and finger drumming and here I am! I started with synths, then found this whole other world with beat making. This is the best training so far, loving it.

    I haven’t played with the metronome in years, I’m really trying to now. I was in the orchestra back in HS and played the violin, I’m teaching myself how to play the piano now and it’s difficult a bit to play to the metronome. Your videos and confidence have definitely helped me in ways…
    you have no idea! 🙏🏽👌🏽❤️‍🔥
