  David T. asked:

  Drummers! I'm looking to collect charts/playalongs for reading practice. What I want is all styles, all levels, a chart with audio preferably without drums. Can anyone recommend good books/sources?

  

  Tony R. replied:

  Thanks for the shout out Gareth. Yeah, Marco’s stuff is pretty poor to be honest. It’s a real effort to read for what you get out of it. And there are some major errors. In one piece, a section is transcribed in 5/4 when the record is in 19/16! It’s much better to read through some Jojo Mayer transcriptions where there are many ideas to steal. Here are a few thoughts...
