Quick reminder that Sight Read Drums is my only official channel for videos and learning resources.
If you’re buying my books or PDFs, please double-check that you’re on the real Sight Read Drums channel (check the exact name).
I’ve heard from a few people who’ve mixed up channels with a similar style, so please be careful.
Thanks as always for the support 🙏
