Great Book to Start With. The Easiest Guide for Beginners.,
By
This review is from: Ultimate Beginner Drum Basics: Steps One & Two, Book & CD [With CD] (Paperback)
I had absolutely no musical background, but I learned basic rock drumming by using this book together with the video guide Drum Basics Step One and Two by Sandy Gennaro. The authors' instructions are easy to understand and follow, and you don't have to know how to read music to start playing. I would strongly recommend using these materials with a Yamaha DTXpress, and practice, practice, practice.

It's good!,
This review is from: Ultimate Beginner Drum Basics: Steps One & Two, Book & CD [With CD] (Paperback)
I started drumming about 2 months ago with a basic set, Tommy Igoe's 'Getting Started on the drums' dvd and this book. The book is endless pages of exercises that gradually builds in difficulty. It's great. Each new pattern gets you using all four limbs, and are easy to modify for more practice (open/closed hi hats, crash vs hi hats, etc). It's got sycophated patterns, drum fills, and stuff on establishing a 'groove' with a band/bass player. Not the end-all of drum books, but perfect for beginners.

The Beat Goes On!,

This review is from: Drum Basics, Step 2 (The Ultimate Beginner Series : Basic) (Paperback)
This is an excellent beginners and improvers book for budding drummers and percussionists, providing a comprehensive introduction to rock and blues drums. Written by Sandy Gennaro, an experienced session musician, and accompanied by a most useful practice CD, it will provide knowledge and confidence for all tomorrows drummers.
