Every human brain is different.

Alpha brainwaves are strongest during REM dream states and meditation (with theta joining it in deepest meditation states).

The main alpha frequency a brain settles into during meditation varies from person to person and from time to time and second to second.

So a frequency, or even two, is not some kind of magic. (No I did not watch the video and won't unless somebody makes a good pitch (pun intended).)
