Overview

This thin method book is a concise and comprehensive collection of material that can fit into a single semester. Including two DVDs with extended demonstrations on world percussion and the proper way to practice rudiments. It is interesting that the authors also include the drumset as an instrument, they use the terms like “sense of time” and “clearer sense of form”.

Reviews

Student Review

"This small book offers a small glimpse into percussion, but the contents provided are a valuable resource for hands on percussion teaching and playing. The Play and Teach Percussion book is a comprehensive guide to beginning to understand the world of percussion, and in a “less talk more action way”. This book would be appropriate to some young music classes or perhaps a group of beginning musicians in a studio." - Denver Ridgway
