The Best Beginner Drum Book

Product Information

The book also provides detailed breakdowns of the most significant drum grooves from the previous century, allowing drummers to visualize the rhythms. Learning the basics of "The official freehand technique" is really doable, but not meant for beginners.

You will gain a complete understanding of rhythms as well as the notation and how they apply to the drums. Jazz can be a particularly scary subject to some drummers, this book gives great insight into some of the basic jazz beats. That is something great about drumming, you are applying the same concepts as everyone else, but every different player has their own way of portraying them.You’ll find everything you need in this book to start drum efficiently with the different types of grip.

Everything from setting up your drums—including choosing your kit, setting everything up, and maintaining good posture and positioning—to hand technique recommendations for gripping your drumsticks correctly for each grip type, as well as guidance on mixing various grips, is covered in the book.

As the book focuses on drum exercises for the snare drum, you’ll find that you can use the very same exercises on your practice pad at home as well. So take it easy on yourself: focus on learning just one new thing every time you sit down to practice.
