Re: Reading Music for Hand drums
Can't believe I overlooked this one, dudes...
I've seen notation both ways (symbols and conventional notes) with letters under them indicating L for left hand, R for right hand, etc., but 1DB is spot-on with his suggestion.
Another factor too of course is that while symbols are useful for practicing, you're gonna have a tough time notating some types of hand drumming (a high-speed martillo involving thumb "pops", for example, or an ad lib fill)...
keep the beat goin' ... Don't keep it to yourself!
