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

Product Information

Once you start approaching the bigger leagues of drummers, it can become apparent that there is much more finesse put into a solo. And if that wasn’t enough, Gadd has also released an accompanying online video course that provides even more guidance on applying the concepts in the book. But as a snare drum book it's really boring, and doesn't cover rhythm and meter as broadly as is needed to give novices a true understanding of it. This workbook of material is perfect for use in practice for jazz, rock, or even rudimental playing.

Rather strangely, there are no dynamics indicated anywhere in the book, and no triplets, no compound meters. The book covers many topics, from basic sticking and coordination to more advanced concepts like power and speed.

So whether you’re a beginner drummer or an experienced player looking to expand your knowledge, there’s a book out there that can help you take your playing to the next level. The Best Beginner Drum Book provides you with a clear path for learning the drums while avoiding the frustrating challenges that the majority of beginning drummers encounter. The simplest guide for beginner drummers to get started on the drums and take their drumming to the next level.

All that to say, any drummer at any level should add Stick Control to his or her daily practice regimen.

If you’re at the point where you’re ready to move beyond rock drumming and increase your coordination even more, this is a great tool for doing that. Most of these books include an introductory chapter explaining the very basics of what a drum is, how to hold the sticks, maybe a picture of a dude in horn rimmed glasses wearing a parade drum.So take it easy on yourself: focus on learning just one new thing every time you sit down to practice. It starts out glacially slow, with six dense pages covering quarter notes and quarter rests, rapidly progressing to complex 8th note/8th rest and 16th note studies. Once you get started with playing some of the exercises in this book, you will realize the complexity of them, as some seem extremely simple.
