"I've been drumming since I was a kid and have played everything from small jazz gigs in Torquay to progressive rock in Tokyo!
Having played with King Crimson's David Cross and prog rock legends Pendragon, I'm currently the drummer with Wishbone Ash.

After four years, and more than 400 gigs with these world-class musicians, I'm still learning and developing every day!" (adapted from joecraptree.com)

RUSH - YYZ

Hey. Here's a song from the Drum Techniques of Rush by Neil Peart.
It's a great book because I don't like reading tabs. I prefer drum notations since I'm taught how to read that way. If you don't, you should learn to. Being able to read drum notations really broaden my techniques because I can learn stuff on my own instead of relying on my ears. Just like being able to read means that you have a infinite source of materials, reading drum notations allow you to learn more stuff written by drummers. In the subsequent posts, I will introduce books that helped me in my techniques.

Here's my mediafire link to download the file. Have fun learning!
