This question is more for Malcolm than anyone...
Years ago drum notation was usually separated between the hands and feet. The notes that the hands would play would be grouped together pointing up, and the notes for the feet would be grouped together pointing down. This made it quite a bit different than regular sheet music where the direction of the stems was decided based on the note that was furthest away from the middle of the staff in that particular grouping of notes.
Lately I'm coming across more drum notation that the hands and feet are all combined under the same groupings. This is great and makes writing and reading things much easier. But I guess my question is which is right? Is there a right or wrong here at all?
What are your thoughts Malcolm? You know this shit better than anyone.
