Hi, I'm Crosby Lai (This website won't let me change out of my Google username), I teach the drums in Hong Kong, preferably within 45 minutes by MTR from Tai Wai. I can cover most major genres except for Jazz, Reggae and Bossa Nova. I have many times help start off friends interested in the drums but have never touched it, who have then gone on to pursue it further. I suppose one can say that I specialize in teaching beginner's basics.
