At my age, it is refreshing to get new ideas and youtube helps a ton. I stumbled on this guys page - http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=drumteacher76 and he is awesome. Not only as a player, but is a genuine nice guy and great teacher. I just wanted to let people know that he just started doing online LIVE lessons that are really pretty darn cool and innovative (at least I think so). You can go to www.mikeslessons.com and there is a host of about 70 short vids you can buy or you can sign up for these online LIVE lessons. Its like $19.95 a month and 2 lessons a week - each lesson is done 4 times. So Monday and Wednesdays are lesson days and you can tune in any of 4 times or all 4. You log in and there is a chat screen on one side of the monitor and Mike is usually on chatting before he starts, then his 'assistant' takes over as he sits down at the kit (which you can see on the other side of the monitor). Before each lesson, you get an email with links to the PDF of the lesson notation and it is put together well. Each lesson has about 5 exercises slowly puting it altogether. Each Exercise has 2 .mp3 files - a slow and then a fast tempo. At the end of the 20 minute lesson, you can ask questions and the assistant will ask him and he will answer live - totally cool. I asked a question and he actually spent the first 5 minutes of the second session on explaining and demonstrating it.
Anyway, not sure if it is the place or whatever, but wanting you to know that I signed up and basically...even though its not really one-on-one, for $2.50 a lesson, PDF files and MP3's - a killer deal that you may want to check out. Check out his youtube stuff first and see what you think.
