Bill "Stuhlly" Brennenstuhl's new book "The Gears for Grooving on Drumset" encompasses all the tools a beginner-advanced drummer would need to really groove on the drums. The book ties together the rudimental motions of Down and Up strokes to help drummers feel the metronome instead of chasing it down. Each chapter starts with a technique study, then the strokes are broken down into a rudiment. Finally the student applies the motions to the drum set all the while learning to feel the timing. For the beginner this gives a solid foundation with the metronome to perfect feel and timing. For intermediate to advanced it's a good refresher study of rudiments and techniques. 1. The Rudiment section is precise enough to market to beginning rudimental snare drummers. 2. All drum set drummers of all levels can use the metronome concepts. 3. This book is first in a series that will move to more advanced players. 4. The syncopation section teaches the student to create fills out of rhythmical phrases they hear in songs. 5. A technique book for every drummer of every level who wants better timing, feel, and chops to truly enjoy playing the drums.

I was excited to receive this kit. I do have several banjos already; however, I did not have a mountain banjo. I have built gourd banjos and ekontings (I went to Gambia in 2004 and 2007 to learn how to play and make them) from scratch, so I am not a beginner in terms of making instruments. I had a lot of fun putting the kit together. I do have a few observations regarding tips or slight modifications in the instruction manual, if interested.
Thanks!

I am very happy with the quality of the instrument. I am of Puerto Rican decent and it reminds me of my childhood, watching the musicians and learning to play myself. It is a beautiful guiro and sounds amazing.

It's great to be able to buy a hurdy gurdy in the US without having to wait for 6 months to a year or more. The Aplo is a quality entry level instrument that produces beautiful sound. It resonates very well and there are no buzzes or squeaks. Workmanship is very good. I got mine cottoned, rosined and tuned in a half hour. The transaction was easy and it arrived within a week.
I've been able to play some tunes on it with only a few hours of practice. It's going to be a lot of fun.

I love it, the entonation is really very good (sorry for my bat english).
Regards!

My wife has unbelievable rhythm and always taps along with music. The tunable was a surprise gift she instantly loved and played along with an old Steve Miller CD.
