One of the best drummers on youtube. supremely under rated

[Bursleoo]

You're an excellent drummer and teacher. Thank you.

[chrisscott]

The internet definitely needs more good drum video instructions. There is so many jokers who've been hitting drums for a year or two who now give drum lessons. This channel is dope.

[starchild]

Wow I have never really thought about doubles in this way! If you didn't say it's doubles I would assume you are playing paradidles. It flows very well but it's kind of mind bending. Thank you Steve you are so creative and unconventional. That's why I love your channel.

[MisanthropicAngler]

Anyone else want to just hang out and drink beer with this guy?

[marcopanama]

You're a legend Steve, and an amazing teacher too! Really love your vibe 😊

[condundrop]

Your videos are great, as is your playing. I hope you keep on doing these.

The drumming in the Altered Live show is just amazing work. Fantastic!

[wickedhyperstyler]

Good to see you still online, Steve. I remember the first videos I saw from you ten years ago from house of drumming. It was before youtube was big and I was regularly checking the drummer's section on musiciansforums. I just had to think of you and was curious if you were still active on the net. And here you are.
Keep on drumming and vlogging.

[jamesmatthew]

Appreciate your videos. Good topics...well explained...clean playing...great mix/tuning on the kit

[Joesfosterdogs]

Excellent communicator.  You stay on target, do not get full of improv shenanigans, and remain perspicuous (yeah I used that word).  Your pedagogy is solid...which is the intended goal right?  The only thing I would add is 1) [this is a phrasing video, but...] Offer teaching on the double-stroke or references to get a better grasp (I wanted to know more of how you developed your facility when watching).  2) A summary statement...in this video I covered...and then illustrate adding a positive statement that is personal, "I really love using this..."
