“The site is terrific! Very easy to navigate. Lessons are fun and easy to follow. Jacob has a great teaching style – fun and informative. The price was also a huge selling point. It’s a real bargain. I’ve recommended the site to people I know because it’s a great site with easy to follow guides at a very reasonable price. I’ve tried classes, which are great but I don’t get to practise my basics – they focus more on learning rhythms. African Drumming Online is easy to access any time. It’s cheaper than classes or camps, and is a high quality site. Great product! Thanks so much for your expertise!” – Lee-Anne – Wollongong, Australia
“I am a professional percussionist in a few bands and African Drumming Online has helped me a lot. The best thing about the site for me is that I can access it anytime, which is perfect for me as my time is limited. Jacob’s teaching techniques are clear to understand and suitable for different levels.” – Jose – Melbourne, Australia
“I’ve been playing drums for 20 years, and learned Ghanan drumming in Israel. I found African Drumming Online very helpful to me since I’ve been trying find theory and practice on Ghanan drumming, but a lot of stuff was missing. I could find it on the ADO site. Jacob’s online lessons have really improved my drumming technique. Thank you Jacob!” – Sagie – Arad, Israel
“Jacob seems to engage you on a one to one basis. His knowledge of the authentic African rhythms is clearly on display. What I really like is the style of how clearly and thoroughly the rhythms are shown in a step by step process and then how each part links to the others. The instructional information provided will help your drumming, guaranteed!” – Graham – Melbourne, Australia
