This book is designed for the intermediate/advanced drummer to improve musical, technical control and reading ability, and presents several rhythmic styles, such as funk, jazz and Latin. I'm not trying to educate you on the 'correct' Cuban or Brazilian grooves, but have used this music as an inspiration for different phrashings and concepts. In the notes you can find book recommendations to explore the styles fully. Please feel free to use the material creatively, like repeating bars when you feel like it. You can also use the pieces for advanced sight reading, but I suggest that you take time to look carefully at the dynamics and stickings. All the stickings are basedon a right handed player (please reverse them if you are left handed). The basic concept is to have rhythmic compositions with basic classical notation and technique, that you can play on a drumset or on a practice pad with your feet stompin' at the floor. The first part is snare and bassdrum with hi-hat foot suggestions. Later in the book hi-hat (with stick) and snarerim are added. The advantage of these concepts is that playing through these etudes is very closely related to what is going on in modern music. Especially important for players in Jazz, Rock and Latin, but also very useful for a classical percussionist who needs solid music training. The last part of this book is a few pages of technique studies and rhythmic concepts that is related to the compositions. The purpose is not to include all basic strokes and principles (there are already many great books for that) but to show you some concepts that I have found useful and special through my years of playing and teaching.

Another triumph in Paul Hose's tour de force Drumset for Beginners series! This book is an excellent beginners' book on the rudiments and applying them to the drumset to create grooves and includes an excellent classroom poster for quick reference. Starting out with suggested positions for holding the sticks, and how to get comfortable at the drumset, the authors then lay out the history of the rudiments and how the generally accepted Rudiments expanded over time to reach the 40 Rudiments that we know today. Covered are the various rudiment families Rolls and Ruffs, Diddles, Flams and Drags. All examples are accompanied by online videos and audio. This excellent and well thought out publication is a welcome addition for the young drummer and will get them off to a great start and moving down the road to having fun and becoming an excellent drummer. This dynamic series of books is not only for the beginner who has never played before, they are for those wishing to explore new areas of their playing and genres of music for the first time.
