Some of these are really old recordings, so it’s best to use headphones or really turn the volume up to hear everything I am saying but especially to be accurately distinguish between the sounds of the different parts of the drum-set in order to train your ear accurately !!!

 

Note:  On your phone, PDF documents may only open if you choose the “Save, Replace, or Keep Both” option and then it will be downloaded and notify you of this on the top of your screen.  Open it there or in your Downloads folder and it will give you the option to Open with Adobe Acrobat, Drive, or some other PDF app you have installed on your phone.  If you watch the associated video, it will open in another tab/window so that you can easily bounce back & forth between the PDF doc and the video.  If your screen is big enough you can even arrange the windows next to each other!
