To that end it is very easily digestible and has lots of fun aspects to make learning easy and enjoyable. John Riley wrote a book for the intermediate to pro-drummer who wants to refresh his basic Jazz drumming skills and go further into the jungle of bop drumming. Above all, it is the ultimate guide for beginners and as a result, makes a great addition to any drum teacher's library.

It's a compendium of all standard snare drum and drum set vocabulary from beginning to moderately advanced. Using 39 different systems, you’ll work on exercises such as having three of your appendages playing a steady pattern while the fourth is ‘reading’ what’s on the page.

Master Studies is one of the most iconic drum method books of all time that develops you hands for application in everything from classical, jazz, rock, to even rudiemental playing. Established in 1998, this local institution has been providing the Camden community with music services from Instruments, Sheet Music, Accessories and Repairs for twenty years. Author Dan Britt takes readers through the basics of drumming, and then progresses to more difficult exercises. Learning the basics of "The official freehand technique" is really doable, but not meant for beginners. Learning something new is always exciting, but one thing to remember is this: The more you know, the more you realize you don’t know.As long as you have passion and the patience for practice, we know you’ll become a great drummer soon enough. It has a few too many studies written in school band style notation, for snare drum and bass drum, which I do not dig— learning how to count endless measures of boom-chuck is what band class is for. It may be a good idea for the beginner to at least have the knowledge of how rolls are played, for example, a nine-stroke roll, also be aware already of how drum music is read. Drummers can learn how each musical genre developed and inspired the next in the book’s historical breakdowns for each style and sub-style.

Jared Falk has more than 15 years of experience with drummers from all over the world and is renowned for his straightforward teaching techniques and intense passion for the drumming scene. Have you ever dutifully practiced your scales, as shown to you by a guitar teacher or in a book and wondered what is needed to turn it into real music? I've got the large tome "The Compleat Rock Drummer" that I've been working through for the past few years and love it. But his passion for teaching drummers never subsided, and he did not want to give up private teaching.Soon Jared was working alongside legendary drummers to create the most frequently-viewed drum lessons in the world. Having a tool like this helps diversify a drummer, stagnation being one of the biggest plagues to many starters. Because it focuses on the basics, it’s a great brush-up guide for those who haven’t played in a while, or for drummers who taught themselves how to play over many years. The book includes video examples for each exercise, so you can watch and learn exactly what you see on the page. What locks up many drummers is independence, the ability for all limbs to be doing their own thing without reliance on another.

A lot of the drum kit based material is in a more simplified sytle of notation (it doesn't use the standard five line style) so to me, it's much easy to dig into and quickly spot the rhythms presented.

I should also include this, because though it's not supposed to be a general purpose beginner's book, it kind of looks like one, and it's very tempting to use it as one. That is where you start learning how to solo a bit more, it teaches you how to move around the kit using some drum concepts other than hit hard and fast. Because it is so easy to follow and carefully mapped out step by step it will provide all the skills and knowledge you need to be a good drummer which will give you everything you need to carry on as a drummer with confidence.
