Great All Round Book

Its a classic, a must have. 9 out of 10 drummers you talk to will tell you they own a copy and played through it at some point in their drumming career. Its a great all round book that shows you a lot of drumming aspects like beats, fills, time signatures and so on... everything you need to learn as a beginner. I would say the only drawback is that its not for complete beginners... perhaps it would be a good second or third book.

This is the one!

For teaching drumset, this is the method I love. The book teaches reading and counting by way of many different beats/grooves in simple 1 and 2 measure phrases. If you do the different variations for each beat as described in the front of the book your coordination will go through the roof!

I still like to use Haskell Harr for rudimental teaching. Using them both together gives students the best of both worlds.

I highly recommend this book. (And for the younger students, get the one written for younger kids).

The only negative thing about this book is that they didn't make each exercise a seperate CD track so some of them are hard to locate. If they did that, it would be perfect!

Ultimate Realistic Rock

This time tested volume still offers a great foundation for beginner to intermediate level drummers. The cd's are a nice addition but only provide 'performance' tempo examples of some of the exercises, as opposed to something that assists the student in progress from a learning tempo to 'realistic' bpm. It also would benefit from more one and two handed 16th note exercises that are written out as opposed to being a variation of the recommended 18 different ways to use the book. I understand that there is an upcoming dvd to accompany the book and cd's. Looking forward to it Carmine!

The perfect book for anyone learning drums

This book is a must have for anyone wishing to learn drums. It is great for beginners and moves up to some pretty advanced beats. It is very easy to read and understand how to count out the beats. The book also covers a variety of styles including rock, shuffles, dance, double bass and more. I didn't even use the CD's and still found this to be better than any other drum book I have used, and still go back to practice from it often.

reviews: page 1, 2, 3, 4

Subjects include: basic rock rhythms * rock polyrhythms * contemporary disco beats * syncopation exercises * hi hat studies * fills * double bass exercises * shuffle rhythms and linear rudiments. Also includes a special CD that corresponds to the exercises Appice offers in the book.
