Student Reviews

This book is a great starter for learning how to play the drum set. Going over set-up of the equipment, drum accessories, along with pictures of what the completed set-up should look like. For tuning, there is a nomenclature of the snare drum, and what you need to do to tune. It then explains what your toms should be tuned to in relation to your snare drum. The book then explains matched grip, and how your stick should look when you strike an object. The remainder of the book has large-printed notation, along with a guide on how to read it, with the notation becoming harder and harder. This book is also sold alongside the VHS tape, “Learn Drums on VCR: Volume 1”.
