I am using a free trial to Scribd, there are some great PDFs of out of print drum books and all kinds of other interesting books. Found a book by Jim Blackley on rolls that I'd been looking for.

https://www.scribd.com

This is ridiculous. Clean and impressive though, billions of notes, endless double stroke rolls on the kick.

Yeah. Very few things are actually out of print.

It's not that long ago since JIm passed, so I'm sure his family would appreciate people actually buying things.

It's been a while since I got all of them, but I doubt they'll go out of print anytime soon as there are students of his that still use his materials in their teaching.

They are only available at the link Paul gave you.

Allan Cox used to sell them on his site as well, but when I bought them all 3-4 years ago he did not.

Currently experimenting with veggie based pizza crusts. Cauliflower yesterday, celeriac today and tomorrow I'll try a mix. In contrast to some other things like this it actually works quite well.

I'm also off all other subscriptions, so I just joned Dave's school again.

Man was it ever a pain to get off Drumeo. That's the most annoying type of customer service.

Hi! Fun fact about John Longstreth. I'm his big sister, and our father was a professional Jazz musician (Russ Long). John was playing along to Buddy Rich by age 3.

Time for a fresh new PC gaming build. Saved up the past few months. Now that i have extra free time why not. Went Ryzen 7 3800 CPU. Gonna use the GPU I have now. Need to save up for that beast. Ray tracing is here so will get a GeForce GTX 1080 Ti. GPU will cost almost as much as the rest of the PC! Lots of RGB fans and AIO cooler. The 4 year old PC has been acting up so it’s time. Even after installing windows 10 from a USB. Still have some issues.
