Kind words from kind people

“I’m having a lot of fun practising with this course. I practise every day. I like your method and your way of teaching so much. In fact, I haven't got any question at all. Everything is so clear.”

BFD student, Spain

I’m always happy when I see that there’s a new video on your channel. The technical videos always give me something to work on. Thanks so much for your posts.

So good Ken. Thank you. I'm new to frame drum and your instructional videos are great! I would definitely sign up for a virtual/online training.

“I am enjoying the BFD course and find it a very useful framework for my not-very-structured learning style. I like the mix of exercises, traditional rhythms and solo pieces, especially as they are supported by your very clear and informative videos.”
