Descriptions

Nine Minute Drill picks up where its predecessor, Five Minute Drill, leaves off with a series of “next level” exercises for practice pad and mallet keyboard. Take intermediate students through the paces with their technique, rudiments and ultimately their musicianship. The accompanying CD-ROM contains engaging play-along tracks at a variety of styles and tempos. Set up your pads or mallet instruments, press PLAY…and away you go! More fun than any metronome alone could ever be, these tracks will engage students in a way that only real musical compositions can.
