After a good laugh, I actually went and checked out the lessons - and offer critique.
Have the camera placed above you so that your right hand is on the right side of the screen - or record yourself in a mirror - it's easier for people to understand when they are looking at the same perspective as you.
When teaching beginners the basic rock beat - I always found that starting with kick and snare alternating was more effective than the hats and kick together - when you tell a student that all they need to do now is hit the hats everytime hit a drum, it seems to translate better.
I'm also big on teaching from proper written music than "tabs", first lessons with a new student are all about learning 4/4 time, bars and whole notes to eigths - then where they are placed on a staff - once that is learned you can move to a more tab-style nomenclature.
