Thank you VERY much! The lesson on hi-hat really helped me. It was gold and worth the price of the course alone.

The coordination exercises in the course are awesome... I'm taking my time to digest them properly but I can see right away the incredible benefits of practicing them. They truly constitute a great foundation for playing Jazz and any style of music!
