This Friedman etude No3 from one of my students. I always encourage my students to make up and play their own etudes. I will post his soon.
Enjoy

My students love this book. In this video, one of my students plays the number 2 and I thought to post it here in order to hear the opinion of the person who wrote it (not just me) and ofcorse from other players. He is a very hard-working guy and also a great drummer. So, Mr Friedman...what do you think. He is going to work more on that etudes and hopefully make his own ones.
Thanks

I have a malletkat but I'm not sure what the best software is to use it with. I remember seeing demos with Mainstage, and that seems cool, but I have a pc. Any suggestions?
