So I'm one year into this entire drumming thing, and overall I've been pretty satisfied with a combination of private lessons, youtube, and my own noodling. My private instructor rocks balls and I'm always flabbergasted when I see him play.
One facet that I've been struggling with is my hands/technique. It's not that my teacher isn't doing his job. Quite frankly, I think it's because I'm a shitty listener and less than stellar at being a student. Everything he's told me to do I've heard numerous times from other sources, and was simply failing to 'get it'.
In order to get things into better shape, I joined Bill's site a few days ago. Overall, it's been a major kick in the ass. Within the first day, I had identified a couple major issues and am well on my way to fixing them. I find the workouts that I've tried to be useful and his encouraging banter and straightforward demeanor genuinely helpful.
Has anyone else here used BillB's site, and if so, what were your thoughts?
