Beginner Drum Book 1: The best way to start learning drums (Drum Education Books)

Product Information

Our goal is to assist music makers in every step, from choosing the right instruments and equipment to understanding how to get the best out of them. This is one of those versatile methods that works great for building basic (and even intermediate) coordination in a rock context.

Starts from ground zero (basic rhythmic theory, accents, etc), easy to read, lots of beat variations, professional recorded examples, etc.

After you start getting deeper into the book, more concepts are introduced such as articulation, which adds a whole other wave of confusion.

What locks up many drummers is independence, the ability for all limbs to be doing their own thing without reliance on another. There are only 2 pages of introduction before it jumps straight into 50+ pages of stick exercises listed to help you build the muscle memory that every drummer needs.

Drum transcriptions of the playing of Elvin Jones, Vinnie Colaiuta, Jeff Porcaro, Billy Higgins, Airto, Ndugu Leon Chancler, Joe Chambers, more! Images of the most helpful drum set arrangements used in all musical genres are also included in The Drummer’s Toolbox, assisting drummers in selecting the appropriate equipment. A brief roundup of some available beginning snare drum books— books for first year students who have never played before, roughly age 10 and up.

This book is a masterclass on how drummers can operate their hands and feet independently of one another. If you are just thinking about learning drums then this beginner drum book will give you an insight into what is needed.Rather than the old fashioned books that consist of endless exercises, this drum book is colourful, well laid out and aims to get you up playing drum beats as fast as possible. I like to compare getting better at drums to watching grass grow (I know, I know, sounds boring, but hear me out). That is something great about drumming, you are applying the same concepts as everyone else, but every different player has their own way of portraying them.
