This is extremely helpful. The only problems I really have are getting tedious with placing in sixteenth notes and placing articulations in for hours. It's alot different from wind music or rock/rap percussion. It takes alot of patience.

Wonderful Information. I always find myself getting writer's block and repeating the same generic rhythmic phrases when arranging battery parts.

Awesome video as always. Great job! I have a question as to why you put a black frame around every video. Why not just put it in full screen?
