I just got into drums and find on Youtube a) a respectful, appreciative bunch that quietly gives thumbs up and B) a loud, aggressive, unappreciative bunch that collectively jumps down the throats of anybody making the slightes error. This video is OK. I got something out of it and it's free, so I'm not complaining.

@UnitShandler Justin Bieber, because people would actually be trying to find him, and would be happy to get rid of ExpertVillage.

I know someone who followed all of ExpertVillage's tips on drums when he set his kit up. Tuning, positioning, etc...

In the end he needed all new heads because they can't tune a head for anything, and he had to re set his entire kit.

Lots of stress for just a bunch of idiots who own drums. They don't play them. I doubt they are even drummers.
