I've worked with Matt in both a high school and University setting. His teaching style is very effective and is well conveyed in this book. It is a resource for all levels: beginners can learn the rudiments correctly and quickly; more proficient players learn ways to improve the rudiments as well as their overall sound. The solos provide a great forum for understanding how rudiments can be musical and incorporated into one's playing.

The way Matt Savage teaches is amazing. I remember one time, and a drum camp where he was teaching, the snares just couldn't get 1 or 2 measures. Matt broke it down, he said play this...we did...play this...ok, now add this...yep, and do this...and we all had it! It was really cool when I realised not only I could do it, but so could the entire line. This book teaches in the exact same way, and is a must have for any snare drummer trying go get better. It even has CDs for the solos to make sure you're playing it right ;)

Fantastic book, I've been using it just a few weeks and my technique has improved dramatically. Great for pros, students and educators. David George, musician and music educator, Seattle

This book consists of almost every rudiments a drummer will need to know for either marching band or set.
If you want a good practice with this book, I encourage you to look at each small tips written in the book. They may seem unsignificant, but they really point out the common/major mistakes that people make while playing and most people who haven't looked at this book don't realize that they are doing it. The solos are pretty challenging up to speed, but once your done with the book, anyone would be flying across drums.

i'm not the biggest matt savage fan...even though he writes are music for marching band. But i msut admit this boog ahs it all. It will teach you all the Rudiments you need to know. and it will help you inprove your skill as well. i suggest buying it. :)
