This podcast is brought to you by 180 Drums. Yes, I am one of the founders of 180 Drums and I couldn't be more excited that we offer an Online Drum Lesson Website unlike anything you and I have experienced prior. There are a lot of resources to learn the drums, but nothing like this. I felt tired of scouring the internet for great content amidst all the good and okay stuff. We wanted to build something that would truly take your drumming to another level. Let us know how we're doing by starting your life changing experience learning the drums... You're minutes away. :)
