Course reviews
The Brazilian drumming course was so cool! I learned to play a ton of different rhythms and beats in Brazilian drumming and percussion.
Great course, learned so much!
Von, your Brazilian course is excellent, thank you! I both enjoyed and learned new things, such as Funk and Partido Alto. And your use of Samba percussion is "wow"! You really got the feel deeply! Thanks, Von!
