The Nashville Number System or an Easy Drum Chart?

Which System Works Well For You?

I have been living in Nashville since 1994 and I learned how to read the Nashville Number system because no one ever handed me a drum chart.
This year, as I was working on The Merlin Gene Show, RFD TV, I got a chance to talk to the Eddy Anderson who is the drummer for the TV show filmed here at the Troubadour in Nashville, TN.
I work with the production company that puts the show together and I do the tele-prompting during the shoot and post production music video editing for the show to prepare it for broadcasting.

I thought all of you might be interested to hear how he plays the show so I asked him to show me his charts and talk about how he reads them.

Here is a video of Eddy Anderson talking to me at our lunch break about his charts.
I have attached some charts for you to download and try.

Enjoy!
