I know this is a little off topic, but everyone is great at sharing ideas and info here so i thought id try anyways. does anyone here know of anyone who has ever attended any courses over at the Musicians Institute in Hollywood? please let me know if you do, or have any info or opinions on the course/school. thanks!

a good friend of mine went through PIT (percussion) in hollywood in the early 90s. he stands as one of the best drummers i've ever heard play bar none. we never really talked that much about the courses but he did mention having more than a few sessions with industry professionals.

Yeah the teachers/alumni there really excited me. Guys from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Weezer, Jeff Buckley...There is a big list up on their site mi.edu
