Though I've been playing with a band for the last 5 years almost every weekend I've never been able to afford lessons. Thanks for your site and your time to create these online lessons. Today I begin my lessons.

Thanks

Billy this is very exciting for me to see that you are taking the time for us beginners out there as well. It is nice to know once I get my set that Im not just gonna be in the dark with learning this amazing instrument. Heres to hoping the tax return goes ok and I can take DrumFreaks set off his hands for him :P fingers crossed

Thanks Again,

Hello Kyle,
My pleasure! I know it can be a bit overwhelming when you first get starting playing. Is there anything you would like me to cover in a future lesson??
Thanks,
Billy

Billy,
I am sure that I will end up having a lot of questions for you :P
The thing is at the moment all I have is a drum pad and i still dont know if I have to Pay the IRS or if they are paying me this year as I run my own business and taxes are not always taken out at the time the money comes in. I have the money to buy an electric kit from DrumFreak but I have to be responsible (blah) lol and wait and see If ima owe or not. If I dont drumset here I come !!!
I have waited to long and am not gonna wait any longer. If I did not live in an apartment I would buy a cheap used acoustic set somewhere.
If you have any tips/vids for some basics I could start practicing on my drum pad that would be awesome as well.
Thanks Again for everything you guys are doing here. It is an amazing service I hope more people realize, are able to take advantage of, and contribute to all at the same time.
Take Care !!
Kyle
