My first drum teacher was the drum captain of the Sydney Olympic Marching band so yeah... Ive rudiments drilled into me for a long time!

DAMN-that's ironic-I just logged on to this site, and my rythym guitarist phoned and asked if I was into playing a "free" gig at a hall on New Years eve. (free in that we won't get paid, but the hall rental is covered).  Depending on what the rest of the guys think(and what my wife thinks lol), I believe it's good exposure.(and a good time)

I can't think of a better way to ring in the new year!!!

[QUOTE=deltadrummer]sight Read??????  Hell I can barely see anymore...   I only read guide charts now anyways..[/QUOTE]

Really? I come accross lots of drum music and hardly ever see guide charts. Well from what my drum teacher has shown me anyways. But the reason I wana get good at sight reading is cos i want to get into session work. My teacher is a session muso, he reackons Ive got the technique, just need to work on sight reading and timing.
