5.0 out of 5 stars A great beginning method book!, February 23, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Elementary Drum Method (Paperback)

I teach percussion privately, and I require all my beginning students to buy a copy of this book. It introduces the new percussionists to time signatures, rudiments, sticking methods, and playing auxiliary percussion instruments. It is a simple yet effective way to get started in percussion, and is a lot more interesting to play than _Stick Control_!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent intro. to reading rhythms, April 11, 2004

Salvadore L. Crano "scrandog" (Steubenville, OH USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Elementary Drum Method (Paperback)

I've taught percussion now for about 15 years, and this book teaches all the important rhythmic concepts within about 11 pages. It will definitely give a beginning student a sense of accomplishment, and will keep them interested, which is the most important thing! It also has a list of all 26 major rudiments and has plenty of useful exercises.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well written, May 5, 2006

Daniel Shevock (State College, PA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Elementary Drum Method (Paperback)

Even though the graphics in the beginning leave something to be desired and could easily be updated, this is my favorite beginning drum book. For one thing, it contains the 'rudiments,' which I find an important part of the learning process. The rhythmic concepts and technical aspects (flams, drags, etc) are introduced in a logical order that the student can easily grasp.
