Darren Bodine Monticello, IL United States	Background Jul 02, 2010 - 05:56 PM Just watched Wed's advance lesson....and threw up in my mouth a little. I'm still kinda depressed after seeing the death metal black background. :} I think you should go back to blue so when I'm playing there at drum camp, my eyes will "pop" on camera. Have a great 4th.
Joey Porth , New York USA	A message for Isabelle Apr 21, 2010 - 04:40 PM Also, I couldn't find a profile for Izzy so can you please tell her that I'm happy that she gets to be a part of today and thank you for doing a great job with the camera.

I just want you to know that I'm always thankful for that too. From your friend, Joey : )

Audree Dillard Fort Collins, Colorado USA	Hey gurl Sep 30, 2009 - 06:07 PM I can't log into the live lessons. Ever since I moved to my new apartment my internet connection is too slow. I can just barely stream the archives. I don't know what to do. You know I want to be a part of the live lessons. I am missing the lessons so much. It sucks but I may have to take a break from lessons until I can get my bills squared away. Then maybe I can afford high speed internet. I missed your B-day. I feel so outta touch. Happy Birthday anyway. Thanks for checkin on me.
Joe Tasse (Browndog) Sterling Heights, Michigan USA	Happy belated Birthday Sep 30, 2009 - 12:31 PM Hope all your days are great Sunshine!!!

aizo yurei Osaka, Osaka Japan	LV? Sep 04, 2009 - 09:53 AM My wife loves MiuMiu! LV is HUGE in Japan. Thanks Amber for playing for us on the 200th! Mike's REAL lucky to have a girl who cares about what he does. I had a lot of girls before that didn't care one bit about what I did. I'm glad you with us! Thanks for everything! I really enjoy the site and the lessons!
Ruth Tel Aviv, Israel	Damn Girl,! Sep 02, 2009 - 10:22 PM took us a 200 lessons and a lot of patient to wait for this!!! but = it was worth it!! now I just have to decide,, which is sweeter..: your voice or your look...:) thank you Amber for all the work and care for us!
Justin Xu Bellevue, WA USA	Australia Sep 02, 2009 - 09:13 PM The trip to Australia was absolutely great! You and Mike should go sometime and visit all the Australian students! My recent trip was in the winter over there and the weather was totally perfect. Going during the summer would be a bad idea since Mike is a "sissy for hot weather" as I recall it =) ~ Justin
Alex (UK) Barnsley, UK	Cool Sep 02, 2009 - 05:38 PM you should start playing drums you seem to have the talent for it.
Justin Xu Bellevue, WA USA	Wow!! Sep 02, 2009 - 04:44 PM Hey Amber just wanted to stop by and let you know how cool it was for you to get on camera for the 200th lesson! It's a good thing I was on vacation and missed the lesson or else I would have been spamming things like "HOW IS SHE BETTER THAN ME?!?!" in the chat room the whole night lol ~ Keep up the great chat-screening/drumming, Justin
Maor Itshaki Quiryat Shmona, Israel	What a Strike! Sep 02, 2009 - 12:31 PM Just jumped to say hi to one of the most good girl drummers I ever saw! haha By the way.. I think you need to throw more magazines on mike... lol
Alastair Batchelor Reading, Berkshire England	No way Amber! Sep 02, 2009 - 09:58 AM Cant believe the appearance on camera, seriously though, are you sure you dont practice regularly that was sure a surprise. Mad skillz! Oh make sure to change the bag (as great as it is) to jack in t-shirt! Uncle Al
buddy carter RICHMOND, va usa	200th Sep 01, 2009 - 02:31 PM Hey Amber thanks for the appearance on camera, and the drum solo you got some chops lady and the looks to go with them. Thanks you and Mike are a blessing and we really appreciate you guys be blessed and thanks again
Yukoshiwa (Claudia) , CA	Nice drumset :) Aug 24, 2009 - 07:42 PM Hey Amber the master chat screener!! I love your drumset :) How awesomee haha You should totally sing us the swine flu song to celebrate the 200th lesson! Alright, see you in the chatroom!

Steve Boze (Breathingrhythm) Norman, OK United States	m.i.a. Aug 01, 2009 - 01:54 AM man... Thank you guys SOOOO much for the practice pad... im getting an incredible amount of use from it. Sorry i haven't been able to join the live lessons lately, I moved my studio and don't get the internet out there, so the upside is no more distractions, but the downside is i can't be connected during live lesson time! I've been trying my darndest to keep up with the archives though. I'm so happy to be a part of such a great group of drummers! You have SO many talented drummers making videos all the time ITS GREAT!.... And i can't thank you enough for keeping me inspired. I've never been so excited about drums my whole live until i found you guys..... crap.. now i'm getting all misty.... anyway. Cheers!
James Rodrigues somerset, massachusettes u.s.a	hey Jul 01, 2009 - 09:00 AM whatcha got in da bag!????? lol

Mike Wittlif , Rhode Island USA	Weimaraner Jun 14, 2009 - 06:12 AM Hey Amber! Thanks for writing. Weimaraner's are absolutely incredible! Ours (Lola) will be turning two this August, and we are sooo looking forward to her mellowing just a tad... Say the word "Squirrel" just a little too loud and she's off the charts! My profile picture is from last halloween, she was Spider-dog (she hated the hat). Our first dog was a Rottweiler named, "Lennon." Lennon from John Lennon and Lola from the Kinks song. How old is yours? And I bet you have great stories! Mike
Bret Salyer Broken Arrow, OK USA	Hi Amber! Jun 12, 2009 - 10:42 PM My first day you asked what I thought about the online format and I think I gave you a generic "It rocks" kind of answer. Now that a few weeks have gone by, I'd like to add that the lessons are really convenient in that I don't have to drive, they are live so I can interact, and both of you are the coolest! My appreciation for Mike's playing and knowledge keeps growing. Peace.
Shawn R. Simister aka drummershawn Hazel Park, Michigan USA	Thank You! Jun 08, 2009 - 01:16 PM Amber, Thanks for the kind words regarding my cover song. We really tried to do our best with what we had to work with. Also, I'm glad you like the Blue Slingerland kit. It's a 1966 Artisan series, and I guess the Blue?Black Agate color makes it unique(or a least worth a few bucks..lol). Have a blessed day!!! Regards Shawn R. Simister
Nicholas Garza Mesa, AZ United States	thanks! Jun 08, 2009 - 02:28 AM Hey Amber, just wanted to say thanks for always being so helpful and kind.
Bert Panganiban Lakewood Ranch, Florida USA	Suggestion Jun 06, 2009 - 05:41 AM Would be a cool social feature for students to receive an email alert when someone has posted a comment onto their profile. Also have little icons that enable shared links (generated into new windows).
Bert Panganiban Lakewood Ranch, Florida USA	Thanks Amber Jun 06, 2009 - 05:32 AM Wow, I'm the first shout you have from FL. Thanks for all you do, Amber. You're awesome...and I wonder if VL could find a profitable market in making drum cases?!
Joe Tasse (Browndog) Sterling Heights, Michigan USA	Bamber Jun 05, 2009 - 01:30 PM It's Easy.......YOU ARE THE BEST !! Thank you for everything
Shawn R. Simister aka drummershawn Hazel Park, Michigan USA	Thanks for all u do!!!! Jun 02, 2009 - 01:35 PM Amber, Just wanted to take a second & thank you for the excellent job u do as the chat screener, and for always getting my questions in for Mike to respond to. You guys are great, and the site is awsome. Getting connected to this site via Mikes Youtube videos has been one of the best things that could have happened. My drumming is coming along well, and I thank you both. Regards & God Bless Shawn R. Simister (drummershawn) Detroit MI
Jonathon Wilson Canton, Texas	Hey DO THIS..Please :D Jun 01, 2009 - 06:16 PM Hey everyone, we are trying to get Mike's students to email modern drummer to do an article about this website. please go to http://www.moderndrummer.com/contactform.php?si=20&staffname=Adam%20Budofsky,%20Editorial%20Director and write an email to Adam Budofsky about mikeslessons.com say whatever comes to your heart and mind.

buddy carter RICHMOND, va usa	archived live lessons May 28, 2009 - 06:13 PM Hey Amber and Mike love the lessons just not able to see them live like I use to I work to much. My question though is I only see like 4 archived live lessons I wanted to go back to say the Dante' Roberson lesson but I can't find it, or do I now have to pay for it?
Jordan DuVall Raleigh, NC USA	May 28, 2009 - 04:35 PM You are an awesome chat screener! We all appreciate what you do, especially after last nights lesson (no pun intended Mike). Ben, or it should be, Mike "My Precioussssss" Johnston, lol

Mike Parent Carrollton (30 miles north of Dallas), Texas USA	Hi May 26, 2009 - 11:03 AM I love the picture of your drums. I am afraid to let my wife see that. She will want to match me 'dollar for dollar' for all the $$$ I spend on drums. It will be Louis Vuiton today and Brighton Jewely tomorrow.....we'll be in the poor house in no time! Seriously, thanks for doing such a great job! Mike
