As @toddbishop mentioned above, for playing standards I find that REALLY learning the melody is the best way to "hear" the changes during solos, including your own soloing as a drummer. That along with internalizing traditional form structure, such as AABA, etc. With enough practice and...
I have bought from this seller before with no issues. Istanbul is obviously a massive metropolis so shipping is quick and reliable with the big couriers. No issues. I was once told by a Turkish guy who worked in the industry that all the best sounding cymbals are exported to N.A. and western...

I was reading that in the Flames/Stars game last night, Flames had the highest shot differential in all-time NHL game 7 history, and second highest in all-time NHL playoff history, period. 67-28 shots (+39). And imagine, they almost didn't win. Dallas has found their franchise goalie for sure!
There's nothing quite like the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Exciting games tonight! CGY takes game 7, but Oettinger was lights out and nearly stole one for DAL. Battle of Alberta coming up for the first time in 30 years. Should be fantastic. Battle of Florida is going to be must-watch hockey.

Awesome working with @drumreverie who responded to my wanted ad and sent me a really special 22" Lauritsen. Communicative and a great guy to deal with!
