Incredible lesson. I really love how you set up another camera angle showing the hand only, very clear demonstration of the technique!

I’m currently trying to learn RESISTER ASCA and I ran into a lot of these, this really helped a lot, thank you for this! 🙏🏻

Excellent lesson! Ghost notes are huge when playing so many different songs. You did a great job of demonstrating these. I’m glad I found you channel. I will share your videos with my students to help them improve their drumming skills.
