Hi Adam,

I have been taking the master classes and They. Are. Excellent! I did notice an improvement in my sticking and orchestration around the kit. I was taking the videos on how it was sorted from the site and I noticed this thread on the recommended path of the curriculum, this thread is really helpful! I was 25% of the master class before I saw this thread, as I was supposed to ask if there is a recommended path in taking the video lessons.

Perhaps the sorting on the content page would follow this curriculum path thread will help the others as well.

Hello there! I just joined a few days ago. Shoot, I’m still in my trial period. I signed up for a year, and I can say I probably got my money’s worth already!

The lessons are well thought out and explained very clearly. Though I will still use an individual instructor for some things, the beauty of this is that you can re-watch and go back for reinforcement. You can’t call or text your teacher 10 times per day. I’m following this recommended curriculum, but there’s so much info on the site, I’m sure I’ll have more questions soon about where to go and what to do!

Just stumbled on the forums and this post. Brilliant outline you've created Adam!

This is the kind of structure i like and appreciate!

Thank you.
