  21. [..YouTube..] @logansdrums That’s the plan man, this is from a beginner book I wrote. I want it to be easy! I want people who’ve never played drums before to be able to sit down and do this really quickly. Like, it’ll take them longer than 60 seconds, but this is all the necessary information to get started.

    It starts the book off in a really informal way. No reading, just sit down and lets do something cool for your first drumming experience.

  34. [..YouTube..] this is probably the best groove ever… as it is the start from where you develop (nearly) every rock, funk (or anything similar) beat
