I like this book because it has notations for many different grooves (blues, rock, country and pop). Along with the CD that comes with it, it is very easy to follow. Each track is indicated on the book and the CD tells you which pattern will be playing on the next track. It's nice that the CD has play-along songs with and without drums. I recommend this book and another one by Rod Morgenstein called Drum Set Warm-Ups.
What a great book. I'm actually proficient on other instruments and have been learning drums. Since I have some ability already this book allowed me to quickly gain an understanding on so many beat varieties, fills, coloration/voicing. Really amazing book and I enjoy just learning and practicing all of the patterns.
My lesson teacher told me to order this book for the semester.I have never played drumset before and this is a great book!There are pages that teach you where the snare,bass,cymbals,etc. go on the music staff.I haven't read all the way through if it teaches, rhythms because I have that prior knowledge, but it's easy to google music theory.Have fun and good luck!
I've bought a bunch of 'get started drumming' books, but I stopped after I got this one because it's just what I was looking for. It teaches you how to read drum music, then introduces you to hundreds and hundreds of beats.Each chapter teaches you a variety of beats and also introduces several new songs for you to play along with. The chapters get progressively more complicated, but the authors explain the role of the drummer in these more complex songs.If you master the instruction in this book, you can probably start playing with a band with a good measure of confidence.Jim
I love the way it's laid out, the cd is awesome, I can actually understand the music as it's written........I am an older student, just getting into music, the CD helps understand the beats......Excellent learning guide.
has a TON of beats and patterns to play, and also has some cool play along grooves without the drums. Lots of cool quarter note, eithght note and sixteenth note patterns to learn and at the end of the chapter you incoporate what you learned into one of the play along grooves. All styles are nicely represented in a very easy and fun way to read. Great book for the drummer looking to take his skill to the next level.
An excellent beginner's drumset book. I've bought many books since I started playing last year, and this is by far my favorite. If you are a beginner drumset player, this books is highly recommended.It contains lots of basic information regarding how to read drum notation and how drum parts are played. It contains tons of beats, fills, grooves and ideas for playing different feels and tempos. Many of the beats are recorded on CD with a no-nonsense approach and high quality for you to follow along and play with. There are also a number of basic song structures for you to play with, or hear Rod playing drums on.The area where this book does something beyond what other books do is how it treats drumset playing as a part of a band in a very musical setting. It explains song and music structure and helps you get ready to play with other musicians.And lastly, its written by the great Rod Morgenstein. What more can I say!
I use this in my drum school for beginning drumset students- I love it, the students enjoy it. It is easy to read and progresses in a fun and challenging way.
