Learn To Play Drums: The Complete Drum Method Volume 1: Essential drum techniques, grooves, fills, patterns and rhythms

Ive tried many drum tuition books over the years but this one has been the most beneficial by far. It covers everything in extraordinary detail, from the history and evolution of the drum kit to even how to sit properly on the stool. The book goes right through the basics and gets progressively harder and more technical with tons of exercises in different styles and genres. My knowledge and playing skills have improved so much, cant wait for volume 2!!

I would like to know if my purchase was supposed to include the audio element which would explain only 2 stars. The theory and history of drums is interesting but it misses somewhat when you cannot listen to the tapes.

Very clear and fun book. I’m enjoying myself working through it and learning the drums.

This is more than just a drum method! I'm an absolute beginner and pleased with the level of detail, with easy language to understand. I've already learned so much about the drum kit and inspired to play. Very glad I chose this book!

This book is brilliant, explains all you need to know in such detail. Can't wait for volume 2.
