Let's be realistic all of these great website are loaded with tons of information and tip's and we all use them and are thankful for all of them they certainly help and encourage us as drummers.All of the drummers websites have there place but the truth is they should never replace a good teacher someone who can be there to answer questions and concerns and to guide you on each step of the way.A student teacher relationship can never be surpassed by a website.Can you imagine if Joe Torre could coach the Yankees via the internet? The team would start to lose focus without any real direction.So you see how important a teacher or coach can be when you can tap into their resources when ever you need to or if they see that your approach needs some fine tuning they'll be there to correct and help you get back on track.

Playing with DJ's in clubs in N.Y was a great experience good thing I practiced to my brothers records growing up as a kid boy did that ever help.
 lessons show you how not give in to one approach to your playing a figure there are so many ways to play one groove and turn that groove into a fill around the drum kit or play the groove and lead with your left hand giving a funky feel.How about playing pradiddle grooves and then use them as fills or licks on the kit I tell you it is endless.Don't ever think you learned it all and you have nothing to work on theres alway something that needs work . God bless Ya. Mike
