Drumcraft - A Beginner's Guide to the Drumkit (book/2 CD)

Publisher: Cherry Lane Music
Series: Instructional

Percussive Notes calls Drumcraft “very thorough and well sequenced” and Modern Drummer says it's “useful and a heck of a lot of fun!” Author Andy Ziker bases his unique new beginning method on his many years of playing and teaching experience.

He covers these topics in detail:

• how to practice
• drumset vocabulary
• techniques for hands and fee
• sticking options
• reading, writing & playing rhythms
• beginning patterns
• rock beats & fills

and much more.

The two accompanying CDs let students hear all of the examples. They are playable on any CD player, and also enhanced so Mac & PC users can adjust the recordings to any tempo without changing the pitch – perfect for learning.
