Love your signature. biggrin

And yes, I do know how to read sheet music. It is in fact a very VERY good thing to learn. A lot of drummers these days can't read it, even though they are talented. They can't write what they play, they can't read others' work. I recommend learning, at the very least learn tabs. xp

Here are a couple resources for reading drum sheet music!
Drum Notation
Drum Notation PDF
The first site is really easy to understand and has some music that you can hear being played as you watch the notation to hear how it sounds.
The second is a PDF and is more intricate, showing where every single note and sound is on the staff.
Good luck! Reading sheet music is an important step for every drummer!!!
