I thought the snare went on the 3rd lne

[mcgyvr2009i]

@Danielgasm Or maybe it should be second space.

[mcgyvr2009i]

I beg to differ, the cross stick goes in the secnd space down.

@Danielgasm Yes. He should probably say 3rd line next time Lawsuit! $_$ Just kidding, can't sue him for making mistakes. I wish you could... no not really.

This is what I was looking for! :O so easy! Thanks!

[dashingjavi]

how correct is this?

[TruthSayerLieSlayer]

Funny. When the video description is expounded it simply and eloquently states "In order to read drum music notes, a person doesn't need to know how to read..." But I guess if you couldn't read, you wouldn't know it said that.

How the hell do I get a different answer to where the snare goes and were the bass goes every place I look? Are people just guessing?
