Free delivery on qualified orders. Review: Bought the book for my son to go with his new electronic drum kit. The book starts at the very basics and gradually introduces the different techniques and different playing styles. A good introduction and the online resources included and referred to in the book are useful. Review: I've been drumming for about 30 years now. And not that this means a lot to anyone born after 1990 but I was raised on the Carmine Appice books and videos. Those along with listening to Buddy Rich and Max Roach and then later studying guys like Dennis Chambers to Nicko McBrain to Neil Peart. All along this time I looked at drumming books and always felt they were lacking. Like you open them up and then it's your straight ahead rock stuff with no visible explanations of style, posture, holding the sticks, setting up a set. The list goes on and on. I still have my rudiment books and they're literally measure after measure of paradiddles and flams and rolls that could bore you to tears. So here I am 30 years later with an eight year old of my own and an electronic set on its way and needed something to get him started. Here it is. This book takes the absolute beginner and helps them set up the set, goes over posture, stick holding, drum pads. the module, and then starts teaching them the rhythm. I happen to play most instruments and am a drummer first. So why not just show my boy how I do it right? Well of course I do that some but have always felt that supporting the way he'll learn in school to be most beneficial. And that's the ability to read sheet music and know time signatures etc. This book gives you all of that and more. Lastly, even though this is the beginner book it comes with a download card in the back that provides backing tracks. That's excellent. Now I can set him down like a regular lesson and let him go on to explore the world I love and have lived in all my life. It's a good book.

Bought the book for my son to go with his new electronic drum kit. The book starts at the very basics and gradually introduces the different techniques and different playing styles. A good introduction and the online resources included and referred to in the book are useful.

I liked the look of this book but it was a present for a 10 year old drummer ....

Very good information. It focuses on types of electronic drum kits and how they work. Includes many examples of drum rhythms.
