Hello,

Tenor Drums (a.k.a quads) are supposed to be notated were the spock is above the staff (like a high g on treble clef), drum 1 is the top space (like a high e on treble clef), drum 2 where a high c would be on treble clef, drum 3 where a would be, and drum 4 where f would be. Right now they are moved down one so that the spock is where drum 1 should be, drum 1 is where drum 2 should be, drum 2 is where drum 3 should be, drum 3 is where drum 4 should be, and drum 4 is where d would be on treble clef. I've also noticed whenever I write a buzz roll it drops the pitch down.

If yall could fix these things that would be great. Thanks!!

  You would have to change the standard drums into the key of B flat although the Spock will be the ride cymbal. To change this add note to your top bar and change the cross to normal
