Where was this book when I was learning 30 years ago?
I really like this book. It works for me and the way that I learn. The daily lessons are broken down into easy to absorb pieces - each providing a challenge and a sense of accomplishment at the end. If you're a competent drummer (and you have the time to practice), you will probably get through 2 or 3 of the lessons easily in a day. This enables players of all levels to get value out of this material.Don't fall into the trap of moving onto the next exercise too quickly. Make sure that you can play each of the pieces comfortably and consistently. And at the right tempo. The lessons are designed to build on previous ones, so getting each of them right makes later lessons much more straightforward. If you think you can play it well enough, just compare your playing to the audio associated with the book (easily downloaded from the web). The examples are spot on and a great yardstick. A number of times I thought I could play a piece well, only to change my mind after I listened to the audio track for the lesson!I date each of the exercises once they are completed as well as marking up those that cause me more trouble than others. I find this provides a sense of progress as well as helping me remember those exercises that would benefit from a little more practice. Because of the variety of music genres covered, there is bound to be something in here that you are less familiar with.I have been away from drumming for 30 years (long story!), but wish that this book was around when I was first learning. Anyway, I have found it now! I recommend it highly.
