It's always useful to learn about the genres I wouldn't be naturally inclined to play. Thanks, guys, for putting out some seriously diverse content.

God i love this dude! Such energy and power! I would love to see him do a bit more dubstep and brakedowns, maybe even with double bass🤩😍🤘🏽

Despite being more of a punk/hardcore/rock fan, I enjoy playing more edm style drumming, especially dnb/breakbeat kind of stuff.

I don't think his explanation of the EDM subgenres is accurate except Trance and Breakbeat, but he looks so fun.
