This new book takes the beginning drummer through the paces - from reading simple exercises to playing great grooves and fills. Each lesson includes a preparatory exercise and a solo. Concepts and rhythms are introduced one at a time, so growth is natural and easy. Features large, clear musical print, intensive treatment of each individual drum figure, solos following each exercise to motivate students, and more! "I highly recommend (this book) to students and teachers. The information is easy to understand and progresses at a good pace." - Joe Porcaro
