Hi, I'm a bit late but what a wonderful video. I'm learning to play drums. I have a background being in the presence of music and know how to play percussion instruments elementarily but do not read it or have structured skills. One of the comments mentioned "one quarter note. " I googled and your video came up... AWESOME, UNDERSTANDABLE TEACHING!!! Thank you 🥰🥁
