Well, there's a few hecklers. Like one guy saying in comments: "The first lesson: Get some earplugs! 😀 " Credibility is a big problem but most people are signing up as followers. But - you know - all you famous people started out as nobodys, right? Anyway, the hecklers were saying pro drummers like Rick Latham were for real - but - you know - it's all flash with those guys. Maybe people want a more anti-elitist thing. I mean, how many times has Neil Peart been on Modern Drummer? 😳

Some would call it "pay your dues". I mean, people get tired of being a puppy! Well, my idea is to just keep producing good stuff and getting a good following.
