    So I was looking around on YouTube and one of the videos that popped up was by a guy named Anthony Wellington and it was about the Rhythm Yardstick and it was part of a clinic he was doing with Victor Wooten. It was actually pretty cool, but I have never heard of this guy before. You should check it out and if you have any other videos etc. maybe you can post them for others.

    And yes, Anthony is a member here. I intend to get myself a webcam one of these days so I can skype me some lessons with him.

    I bought that a year before I started playing bass. There's some good lessons there that apply to drumming too, like the rhythm yardstick.

    Wellington is bad! I appreciate his philosophy & approach to creativity. I think he would kill on any instrument.

    He did a great clinic at a DC/VA/MD GTG a few years back, he is a good educator as well as a great player.
