ps - A handy looking little book called _The Drummer's Bible_ just arrived from Amazon for me. It's kind of a "rhythm patterns for dummies" thing, and so quite handy for a non-drummer like me to use as a crash course on different types of grooves :) I plan to do myself up some dbsongs that are basically just collections of different patterns which can then be copied over to other dbsongs as needed.

This looks good from the description. I DO need help in my drumming - I have tried to create a collection of patterns, but they all sound the same, some just have more splashes than the others D'oh I'm trying to get a Buddy Holly / Peggy Sue sound happening, but I always get back to a standard 4/4 beat ala The Rolling Stones. Even my pitiful attempts at a reggae end up having the standard (thump, whack, thump, whack) 4/4 rock sound Ah well.... That's why they made practice.
