I was pretty happy when I brought the Jazz Drum set National Exam study material book from Shum Zhen. It��s just YMB$16.00, and it contains a lot of materials that I can use when I prepare material for the drum-set class I teach.

But today I figured out something that I should have figured out in the very beginning: the drum score notation convention is DIFFERENT in mainland China comparing with the rest of the world!!!!! I enclosed the two photos here.

Damn, I want my $16 back!
