Re: Tower of Power

I would suggest spotify to get all their songs.

David has a bunch of literature and videos on the parts he created.

I am facing a wall where the stairs come out of so my mom either switches the lights on and off or stands on the stairs and waves her arms around.

I am jumpy, so both startle me every single time.

Re: Learning to sight read

Metronome. Lessons.

Re: Learning to sight read

I would skip this entirely and buy a beginner snare drum book, then move to drum set or multi percussion books.

Re: Do I have to buy new snare wires because of this?
