      I'm a 35-year-old ADHD dad. Music is what got me through school. I couldn't focus on my homework to save my life but I would play violin hours a day. Secret to ADHD is find something they enjoy and they will get crazy passionate about and keep that energy level up. I'm actually learning drums right now as we speak for this reason Best of luck to your boy he's going to be great

      Bless your sons heart...I too have adhd but adult adhd, I don’t understand what the difference is...maybe it’s categorized as to when the diagnosis was determined...
      I can totally relate to your son, about being focused on watching drum line videos...in fact your comment helped me finally understand why I’m drawn to drumming too.
      For some reason, our minds are soo busy trying to focus on one thing but are distracted with soo many inconsistencies around us...so to me, it makes sense as to why our brains love the drums soo much.
      I appreciate your comment...you helped me too.
      I hope your little man has a pair of sticks in his hands by now, I think he’d make a good drummer...
      God Bless...

    This wasn't at all what I thought it was going to be when I clicked on it, I was actually looking for more advanced marching band snare practice material but this was one of the top results for some reason, I barely read the title, clicked it, full screened it, and just rolled with it. After the first minute or so of just doing very slow/easy warm up stuff I thought "uhhhm, hold up, what exactly is this lesson?" checked and realised it was a general drum lesson 101 type thing, so obviously as a drummer of 9 years only just getting into traditional marching snare stuff, it's way below my level, however, even after realising this I still went along with the practice because this guy is just so good, I LOVE this level of enthusiasm, this guy is a great drum teacher for beginners, I dropped a like and wanted to write this comment just to really say how great I think this guy is, any beginner starting out is lucky to have this guy as a teacher!!

    Given; that I am not the brightest light on the block at times. Then I found you! Dear Master of Drums! And things got way clearer! Thank you so much dear teacher! You make it fun, understandable, reachable, yet with a certain strictness needed, if one shall ever become great at drums/snare. I appreciate your time and what you do (for me)!

    Just bought my 9 year old a drum pad. He'll be watching this weekend. Any recommendations for an academy in Houston?
