Good question. It might be something Jared could go over during one of the live video lessons.
I don't think this is the correct forum for it however. This topic covers the basic "how to play" lesson - not tuning techniques. You could PM Jared with your request and please feel free to search the forums. There are plenty of discussions about tuning methods.

When i first started with no drum kit about i year ago i used to practise the beat using my hands on my knees. It really helped me get started, and when i got a drumkit i built up more complex beats from there. Thanks for helping me get started.

Please explain, I'm not having any trouble at all with the video's. Maybe your computer sucks.
