NOTE: This post will be pinned to the top of the blog until June 1, but I’ll be posting heavily, so be sure to scroll down and hit the older posts link so you don’t miss any of the new, extra-special content.
OK, folks, here we go with our 2015 “I like CRUISE SHIP DRUMMER!” fund raiser, wherein I invite you to contribute some of your hard-earned money, to help us continue the flow of great drumming-related stuff.
I’ll spare you an extended sales pitch, except to invite you to take a fresh gander at our downloads archive, and mention that it does take a lot of time, effort, and energy to write that stuff— for which I’m not paid directly at all. I rely on people thinking what I’m doing is valuable, and then deciding to take action and make a donation, or buy our products.
As always, one-time donations are lovely, but you can now also become a continuing member by signing up to make an automatic monthly contribution. If you approve of what we’re doing here, and you have the means, this is an incredibly great way to help us do our work, for you:
| Choose your recurring support level: |
Or you can make a one-time donation— all amounts are helpful, and welcome:

If you value what we do, and want us to continue, please give generously, according to your resources.

Thanks for your great work. You're very generous with your knowledge and teaching. I really appreciate your emphasis on musicality and practicality as opposed to technique. Please keep up the good work!
Seconded!
But I'm wondering if, these days, you can really buy a pair of drumsticks for only $5?
