Just randomly came across Mike Johnston , i didn't know he had youtube videos.. and when i watch his videos, for example the 4 stage drum practice, i think its pretty nice.So i wanna know if his teaching level is considered good?
I have been a member for two years, playing since I was sixteen.
I have learned more from him in the past two years than from anyone in the 18 previous years. Grooves, chops, music theory, reading, fill placement and overall musianship.
But you have got to put in the long hours, nobody else can do that for you.
Edit : and more importantly, he is a great motivator and an awesome human being.
Mike is good. If you find he isn't helping, try this guy out

I watched some of his lessons.. and he seems nice but his lessons didn't gel to me.. thing is.. watch some lessons.. if you like it then our opinions don't matter.
Personally i preferred the online lessons at another site that has over 1000 lessons.. adds a new one daily. Gives personalized lesson plans. Critiques of your playing and amazingly nice people.. i won't mention the name though as people that have never tried it tend to have opinions that will share without actual knowledge.

The only other thing i will add here is avoid drumchannel like the plague..
Yes, what happened there? They ran out of speed and money (DW) or whatever?
