About the author:

Todd Bishop is a drummer, drum teacher, Origin recording artist, blogger(hey?), visual artist, and cymbal dealer living in Portland, Oregon.

Also visit my site CYMBALISTIC to get some great cymbals made in Turkey, by Cymbal & Gong. They're some of the finest cymbals in the world for anyone seeking a traditional 50s/60s jazz sound. I play them, players love them. Be sure to check out our own speciality model, the Extra Special Janavar.

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.
