............"spectacular."

"Hey Chris! - I just got your books. You should be congratulated on a great job!!!!! Your playing and all the exercises are excellent! Keep up the great work!"

- Rick Gratton review of Book One: Soukous and Book Two: Bikutsi.

"First of all let me commend you on your work. I thought the book (Book One: Soukous) was excellent and really helped me get my hands together and gave me lots of new ideas. I use the book almost every day in my own practice".

- Forrest Everett (owner of www.foreverdrumming.com).

"I've had a little time to go through the Bikutsi book and, once again, my compliments go out to you. The Book is absolutely top notch! I really enjoyed it and sincerely hope you continue to add books to the series. The material is quite challenging and makes for great practice exercises (in addition to the musical applications). Everything was extremely well done, right down to the way you put the whole program on each side of the cassette. Excellent!
