Hello internet family,

As I'm recording my fourth drum video for the YouTube channel, it means I have had two additions to my first video! Could you go check them out? Let me know what you think! These are two videos from an old drum book I used to enjoy and help me prepare for some more challenging videos in the near future.

Love, Yentl

Hey everyone!

I hope you're all doing well. It's been quiet on my page and website lately, but it's all because of significant changes in my life. For the past few months, I've been enjoying my temporary last months as a traveller, and now that I'm back home, I'm trying to catch up with as many friends and family members as possible.

But that's not all. I'm also preparing for some exciting new chapters and can't wait to share them with you! I'll announce all the details on my website very soon, so keep an eye out for that. Starting in October, I'll regularly post updates again, so stay tuned!

In addition, I've decided to incorporate more of my music career into my life. It's been in the background for five years, but now it's time to bring it back to the forefront. I'll be recording some videos for my YouTube channel in the next few months, and I'd love for you to follow along. All the videos will be posted on Facebook and my website, but it's always good to give my YouTube channel a follow as well!

Thank you all for your continued support. I can't wait to see what the future holds!
