I've asked each of these individuals
for permission to publish the valued comments below . . ." (Bill Powelson)
Just a quick thanks for your professionalism. I
have never had a person to person lesson. Before I
stumbled onto your website I was the worst drummer,
and had lost interest. Now after 4 months I'm playing
with different guys from different bands and loving
it!!!
I also started helping teach my girlfriends eight-year-
old. At eight years of age, she has memorized all the basic dance
beats and is now learning the rudiments/fills.
I will refer your site to all my friends and thank
you again for your knowledge and ability to share it".

"I am writing to let you know that I have been trying out your ideas and
they work. I've been playing along with music like you suggested, and
besides having a heck of a lot more fun and practicing longer, my playing
has improved. In just a few
weeks I've noticed my playing has become more rhythmic and natural. Additionally, I have
expanded my ability to improvise rolls and fills. Thank
you".
Thanx,

"I have been practicing my drums..... LIVE.
I used my electronic drums and all the ideas you taught me through
your on-line course. I am having a great time with my
drumming!
At 48 years old with only 2 years behind a drum set, using
your lessons . . . I have advanced quickly. I should have started with your
lessons sooner.
I want to thank you for all your help - in my opinion you're the
greatest"!
Thanks again.

I'm sure you are aware already of your superior teaching techniques, but I
wanted to share with you what I've already been able to learn from just a
few minutes online at your site with about 20 minutes or less of my
attention. I am a guitar player but I have a set of drums in the studio
for
jamming sessions. I found your site on Saturday. I practiced the dance
beats with different cd's on Saturday. On Sunday, two other band members
(guitar and bass player) came over to practice. I said I wanted to play
the
drums. They could not believe that I learned to play as well as I did
overnight. In fact, rhythm is my weakness. Yes, I'm definitely a novice,
but I can keep those basic beats already. I can't believe it. Either I'm
a genius or you are, and it ain't me. Great work"!
Sincerely,

"Thanks a lot for all your help. Your webpage is really, really great! I
thought that learning how to play the drums would be very difficult and
confusing. I was planning to hire a profesional to teach me, and searched
the web to look for some tips. When I saw your webpage, I decided to
ditch the hire-a-profesional-drummer plan; and follow your webpage instead.
I really think I can do this. Keep up the good work and don't even think about
closing down the site"!
See ya, when i see ya,

Hello, Bill...
"My first visit to your homepage was about 4 or 5 years ago. I was
looking how to read drum notation. And now I can (because of You). I'm teaching
right now and do some drum clinics for Pearl and Zildjian lately, around my
country (Indonesia), and gee . . . I play like Dennis Chambers now!! Thanx to You
Bill,
Denny Warren, Indonesia
