The drum rudiments are the language of drummers. They are to us what scales and chords are to the other instruments. Understanding the rudiments allows the drummer to communicate with other drummers and also have the ability tointerpret terminology and rhythms that are so often seen in music and music publications. This book is designed for drummers of all levels who would like knowledge of the snare drum rudiments but haven’t had the advantage ofstudying them formally. It is a quick simple approach that can be learned by any drummer who can do single strokes and double strokes [strokes using the stick rebound]. While this method is not meant to be a substitute for thetraditional way of learning the drum rudiments which I totally recommend one of the advantages of it is that it is a fast easy alternate method that will give an understanding of the how the rudiments are played and shouldsound. If nothing else this book will improve the drummer’s overall technique and playing. After studying the approach described it will be an easy transition to take the study of the rudiments further learning to play themin the traditional way and apply them to the drumset.

Basic drum set coordination can be learned very quickly using vocal sounds instead of written notes. Drums from Day One is an adaptation of the proven ?solfege? technique to the drumset.?Solfege ? (singing musical notes with syllables) has been used for hundreds of years by teachers of virtually every other musical instrument. The traditional way of beginning the drums by studying andanalyzing written drum notation and applying various notes to the four limbs is a complex task that takes a good deal of time. Although reading and writing music will also be covered in this book beginners can get started muchfaster with the ?solfege? system.This is not a ?quick fix? or a promise to make you a drum expert in one day but this method has been tested and proven with hundreds of students over the years andit is very efficient and offers immediate results. The student will learn to play 8 songs in all the basic styles: Rock Blues Shuffle and Funk.The songs are especially designed and graded for beginners and are recordedwith and without drums on the companion audio. Includes access to online audio containing recorded examples of all the exercises in the book.
