Your drumpart software ?
Hi Rob,
I just wonder what is the software you are using to write your parts.
I've never found something that is faster than hand writting !
But your parts are so simple and nice that I think I've never found the same software.
Thanks for your answer ! And your job 
Regards.

Ray Luzier Double Bass Drum Fill Idea
I watched Ray Luzier in a drum video a while back talking about a very simple pattern he likes to use around the drums that involve the double bass drum pedal. While practising the drums this morning I suddenly realised that I use this idea all the time in my own playing. It's such a simple combination of ideas that most drummers that have been using double bass drum pedal for a while will have most probably played it already.
The fill idea consists of two individual parts that are put together into one pattern. Here are the two parts...

The first bar on the left shows a six note pattern with four notes played on the hands and two notes played on the double bass drum pedal. Of course, this pattern can be played with one bass drum foot depending on how efficient and speedy you are with the one foot!
The second bar on the right shows a three note pattern with one note played on the hands and two notes played with the double bass drum.
What you can do next is to combine these two patterns and play them through sixteenth note triplets like this...

Printing off the drum beats and fills
I am new to the site and think its excellent. have only been playing a few months. Can play most of the beginner beats at 60 but struggle if I speed up. Should I just leave the speed to later and concentrate on learing new beats / fills at 60. What I would really find helpful was if I could print off a copy of the beats you demonstrate. Is there any way of doing this or will I just have to write them down?

Good jazz drumming?
Hey, I have to put together a few jazz songs for an audition. Does anybody know any good songs i could play along with? perhaps some art blakey or miles davis songs? Coltrane?
Thanks
