For those who don't get Sibelius Blog updates, which you should, this link
to a blog on how to write drum parts fromt he sighted point of view should
prove educational for those of us who need to learn more about what sighted
drummers expect to see.

A drum kit, yesterday (courtesy sunfrog1 on Flickr)
Practical advice from an expert arranger is worth its weight in gold, and my
pal John Hinchey <http://www.hincheymusic.com/> , both a talented trombonist
and a successful arranger based in Nashville, is sharing his wisdom on his
blog, Notes on <http://johnhinchey.com/> Notes, which I commend to you.
He's currently posting an invaluable multi-part tutorial about producing
effective drum charts in Sibelius.
In the first
<http://johnhinchey.com/2010/08/27/sibelius-tutorial-drum-set-notation-part-
1/> part, John describes the different kinds of drum charts you will see,
from fully-notated parts through parts with slashes only, and everything in
between. In a
<http://johnhinchey.com/2010/09/01/sibelius-tutorial-drum-set-notation-sideb
ar-1/> brief sidebar, he expands upon the different conventions for stem
direction and note duration sometimes employed in fully-notated drum parts.
In the second
<http://johnhinchey.com/2010/09/13/sibelius-tutorial-drum-set-notation-part-
2-fully-notated-bars/> part of the tutorial, John provides more detail about
producing fully-notated drum parts, and has some useful suggestions for how
to use Sibelius's <http://www.sibelius.com/products/sibelius/5/hub.html>
Ideas feature to speed up the creation of your drum parts. In the third
<http://johnhinchey.com/2010/09/18/sibelius-tutorial-drum-set-notation-part-
3-fully-notated-bars-plugins/> part, John shows how plug-ins such as Hide
Duplicate Rests and Make Pitches Constant can also make your life easier.
John has even persuaded me to post a specially modified version of Make
<http://www.sibelius.com/download/plugins/index.html?plugin20> Pitches
Constant that produces a good-looking drum part with hits from another staff
in a single operation, and he's
<http://johnhinchey.com/2010/09/20/sibelius-plug-in-make-pitches-constant-dr
ums/> posted about that too. Yesterday, John posted the
<http://johnhinchey.com/2010/09/23/sibelius-tutorial-drum-set-notation-part-
4-repeat-slash-rhythmic/> fourth part of the tutorial, covering drum parts
using slashes, rhythmic notation, and repeat bars.
There are more posts coming, so you should subscribe to John's
