Drumset for Beginners

A new innovative method that is both a practical approach to playing the drumset and the starting point for the understanding of style and genre. Students start their first lesson by playing a basic "hook" beat, but then quickly progress to fills, syncopation, swing and shuffle, before examining the essential ingredients for all the main styles every professional drummer needs to understand. Each chapter includes unique "follow-on" publication advice, so students who have a particula rinterest in a style can further their development. An enclosed MP3 CD includes aural examples of all the exercises and full recordings of the Play-Along tracks.
