Drum Rhythm Series, 3 Complete Books in 1 Volume - Rod Thomas - Bog

This combined collection of three music instruction books takes students from beginning rhythms for any instrument, to snare drum rudiments, and finally to full drumset exercises. The first book teaches students how to read music by introducing note values, rests, and counting, with many examples to practice. It covers rhythms only, not differently pitched notes, so it is applicable to any and all musical instruments. The second book introduces snare drum technique for beginning to intermediate players. Probably all of the rudiments can be broken down to just a few, and then combined to form others. This book teaches the flam, drag, 4-stroke ruff, paradiddles (single, double and triple), all the short rolls and the long roll. It contains 16 solos and a daily roll workout. The third and final book in the series introduces Rock, Jazz and Punk genres. It includes numerous exercises designed to help budding drummers go from beginner to advanced in limb coordination and independence. A true gem of a volume- aspiring drummers cannot go wrong with this series!
