You can also purchase my books, including Syncopation in 3/4, 100 Grooves, Samba & Bossa Nova Field Manual, and the Books of the Blog from 2011-2018, as well as some CSD! merchandise.

NEWS: On November 6-9 we will be bringing cymbals to Berlin and Dresden, Germany. Get on the mailing list @ Cymbalistic for locations and updates.
