We bought this book because it is the one used by my child's fourth grade band program, and it seems well suited to that age and older. The book covers the beginning fundamentals for snare drum, bass drum and bells/xylophone. The snare and bass exercises comprise the first half of the book and are written together, on one staff. The bells exercises make up the second half of the book. Exercises are short, 1-2 lines of music, and fundamentals are explained clearly before each segment. Although this may be outside its scope, it would be fun for kids of this age if some of the music were simple versions of rock classics, instead of all folk songs and classical.

We thought this book would have more drum training than it does. It is all types of percussion. Otherwise, we have used the guitar Essential Elements books and liked it.
