In fact most of the drummers I know that I mention this to have no idea who he is. Including students... I think I've had one or two out of hundreds that have shown me his videos and asked to learn what he was teaching...
I think it's easy to seem bigger/more important ect on the net than you are in real life because the net levels the playing field if you are smart at marketing.. MJ is a master at that as is Drumeo..Another solid teaching site built solely from online marketing..
If you want to see where drumming is going, just follow MJ, you're in good hands. Rick Gratton and Gary Chaffee??? I guarantee you Mike has sold more books then they have. His new book Groove Freedom is going to be another best seller. And Drumeo, those guys try to sign up for Mikes drum camps, which are sold out too! Mike is changing the world, you all are hanging on to the past.
What are you 12 years old?
You must think that McDonalds serves the worlds best food. The numbers sold mean nothing at all.
Again whats in his books that put him on the same level of a Gary Chaffe, Rick Gratton, Ed Soph?
Understand???
