Intended for the beginning Drum student this book contains many essential reading and playing skills for the Snare and Drumset. These studies are integrated in a logical sequential order. For example a new rhythm isintroduced and studied on the Snare Drum then later applied as a beat and then a fill. The same rhythm will appear later in the book for review and then in one of the play-along tunes. This way each concept is reinforced andutilized in different ways. Because of the need to stress the importance of dynamics and their role in the proper execution of playing a piece dynamic markings are included in many of the Snare Drum exercises.The authorhas gone to extreme measures to provide a fun and humorous way of learning to play Drums while at the same time implementing the fundamental tools necessary to be a proficient musician. Includes access to online audio thatpresents eight play-along tunes with and without the Drums.
