"This old guy's chasing around You Tube trying to learn to play drums was proving unproductive until I bumped into Alex's Five Minute Drum Lessons channel. A was the best video teacher I had encountered, so much so that I hired him to teach me despite his being 300 miles away, and in a foreign country no less. It's been almost a year now and he has already given me a language to use on my kit. I couldn't recommend him more highly, especially for adults. And down here, across the border, the exchange rate provides nice savings."
