As you could have probably guessed, it focuses on snare technique and covers topics from basic snare beats to advanced techniques. Everyone may have learned these core truths from different sources, all together though, they all come to the same conclusions. Simply, it dives into all the different styles of drumming, providing some of the core grooves for 101 different styles of music. Chances are if you had asked any drummer for learning resources, you’d definitely have heard of this book.

This book is intended for beginners, though you can quickly work on some pretty advanced stuff before you’re even a few pages in. For over 18 years, Jared has been a leader in the online music education industry, publishing his first online video lessons in 2003 and founding Musora in 2005. Once your kiddo has learned drum notation (or is at least familiar with it), they'll be eager to play some songs.Also, you can practice different beat elements by listening to the audio examples of the beats and breaks from the book.

I got this book for my 7 year old granddaughter to 'dip in and out of' as and when she visits, and fancies copying granddad on the drums.

Overall, this is a great book to let beginners build a solid independence foundation, leading to an easier time in the future when learning more complicated pieces. Dave Sanborn, the veteran saxophonist, and six-time Grammy Award winner, has announced he will soon present the first episode of his new music show, Sanborn Sessions. Mark Wessels has crafted his lessons in a way that will allow any beginner to learn to drum in a systematic manner.

However, if you want to give it a go, here are a few useful books that should definitely have a home on your bookshelf. So get in touch with me, I want to get an official quote from you, so it’s published on the back cover with your name on it.If you’re at the point where you’re ready to move beyond rock drumming and increase your coordination even more, this is a great tool for doing that. Jared Falk and his team have my confidence and support in what is done to promote music through the art of drumming and percussion.
