Book Description
BEAT THIS is a comprehensive, step-by-step drum set method for both the beginner, who is picking up sticks for the first time, and the skilled percussionist who needs to learn to read music. The book describes the basic beats. You will master the rudiments, gain co-ordination and facility, build up your “chops” and begin to play more complex beats and fills. As you progress, you will learn to read music: how notation translates into sound and rhythm. By the end of the book, you will have developed a solid foundation of basic drum set skills. The lessons have been designed to gradually increase your proficiency. This method was developed from my years of teaching experiences with students. BEAT THIS works best as a formula for a student/teacher relationship, but motivated students will be able to follow the course on their own. You will be playing “in the band” before you know it.
