Product Description

Drumming made accessible for the complete beginner! This easy to follow book teaches basic drum set percussion concepts progressively, so that if you stick with it, you will have a good foundation upon which to further your musicianship. Four learning tracks are presented in the book: Technique - including the grip, sticking and methods used to achieve musical sounds, as well as the principle of learning good habits from the beginning. Reading - basic reading principles are introduced in this book in logical sequence. Writing - by actually notating the rhythms you find challenging, you'll develop an increasingly intimate awareness of the note and rest values of which they are comprised. Application - after basic principles are introduced, you'll have the opportunity to apply them in a musical context. An optional cassette or CD demonstrating the examples in the book is available.

Customer Reviews

This book is so helpful!
I borrowed this book from the library to supplement the books used in my weekly drum lesson, and now that it's time to turn the book in, I'm buying my own copy. The exercises are so helpful while being SO much more FUN to play than the exercises in my blander lesson books.
