A few years ago I turned successfully to the forum for help in finding my son a drum teacher in London. Same question, different location: does anybody know where we can find a drum teacher in Hong Kong? Any and all advice most welcome! Thanks, Will

Even though I have lived in Sweden for close on 15 years now, I never cease to be amazed by 'the swedish way' of doing things. Not that it's like living in a totalitarian dictatorship or anything, but I do have the feeling sometimes that government...
