Introducing Drum Kit part 1 (Trinity College London): Drum Teaching Material Sheet music – 24 Jun. 2010

Seems like a nice book. Teacher asked us to buy this one.

I received this book today. I have been working from "The Drumset Musician" and "Stick Control for the Snare Drummer." "Introducing Drum Kit" is a one stop shop for the beginner, however. It covers the basics in a more broad way. It has some very easy play along "songs" to get you started. Playing along with music is a skill in itself. It's good to start with some very simple pieces to get you used to just playing along, counting the bars, etc."The Drumset Musician" is also a great book but feels a little more like an encyclopaedia of drum patterns than a "teach yourself" book. It is good for doing exercises and learning different beat patterns, but there is no structure in it that tells you how to progress.I would certainly recommend "Introducing Drum Kit" for beginners. The note at the end of the book says that once you've completed it you are ready to start learning grade 1 pieces.

Used in conjunction with the drum kit for school

As discribed

Does the job.

Excellent instructions (although I have teacher too). Very clear step by step guide to acquiring skills. Downloadable accompaniments to add interest and get you playing along with music.

This is a good start in learning to play drums. The notation is clear and very understandable. There's also a CD that you can play along with or just jam to!Purchase was easy and delivery was fast. i will probably return to buy the next book in the series

Great for beginners and intermediates as it shows how to properly play the drums, hold sticks etc and makes you realise if you've been doing things wrong
