Whats virtualdrummerschool.com like?

I've seen this and it looks proper good, but I don't want to waste my money. So I was wondering, has anyone enrolled? Whats it like? What can you do? Does it go through basic technique as well as advanced?
There are some great teachers there though so I would naturally think its good.

I enrolled for a little while....I bought some of the lessons from Horacio Hernandez...they were quite good....I learned a whole bunch of different latin rhythms with left foot clave underneath....basically the videos were quite short, maybe 1 minute in length, and there is a transcription of what they are playing....so for example, one of the lessons I bought was for a songo....the video showed hoarcio playing the rhythm over and over again, and then there was a transcription of the songo rhythm he was playing...

I also bought a few of Gregg Bissonnette's lessons...those ones were basically him just showing different licks...same as before, short video demo, and a transcription

so it's quite good...if you want to see a sample video lesson, go to Dave Weckl's web page....he has one of his video lessons posted on there...on his main page, click on "instructional", then click on "on-line teaching"....in that section, there is a sample

How much did the lessons cost?

[quitou]

They changed the format a while back....when I signed up, you payed per lesson...I think it worked out to around $2 or $3 per lesson...but now it's been changed....you pay for a period of time (ie. 1 month or whatever)....I'm not sure if you get access to all of the lessons now since I haven't signed up again after they changed the format....I'm sure if you head over to the web page, they'll have all of the info.

I think it's probably worth it...there was a lot of material from what I remember...each teacher had quite a few lessons...when I signed up, Weckl's lessons hadn't been put on line yet...if you get access to all of the lessons at once with the new format (paying for a period of time as opposed to per lesson), then it would definitely be worth it, because there is a lot of content...everything...grooves, licks, how play in different styles, using brushes...
