"The book starts with Whole notes and Whole rests and graduates in the correct chronological order. Whole notes and Whole rests, Half notes, and Half rests, Into Quarters, to Eighths, Sixteenths, and Thirty Second. As the notes and rests graduate, they also combine the previous rhythms. It is imperative that you pat your foot correctly and make your hands follow your foot. Timing is from the feet up not the hands down.

Triplets, dotted notes, ties, and basic music theory are explained in the book.

The book can be used as a drum set method. All the examples can be played on the drum set. To begin this process, you would put Quarter notes on the bass drum, and the hi-hat on beats 2 and 4 with your foot. Play all the examples on the snare drum to start. Then, move the rhythms around the kit. You can also play a ""Swing rhythm on the Ride Cymbal and play the snare drum example with your free hand. A competent instructor will also be a great deal of help. He or she can guide you in the right direction.

After completion of this book, you will have a solid rhythmic foundation that you can build upon.

Practice and enjoy the book and the process! Steve Faulkner"

Reviews for Basic Snare Drum

"""Your book is a valuable resource that will assist beginning drummers in learning how to read music. The layout is clear, concise and thoughtful. I can appreciate all the hard work that has gone into this volume. Bravo!"" Neil W. Grover Grover Pro Percussion, Inc. ""I've looked at your book and am very impressed. It is pretty much the way I learned and pretty much the way I taught when I was teaching beginners."" Dave Bedrosian Owner American Drum School L.A. Jazz Artist ""In regard to your new book I especially liked the simplicity of the exercises and for one who didn't have any formal training; it is a wonderful tool to get introduced to notes and their values. I will use the metronome along with the exercises for timing consistency. Thanks again, Steve and keep on drumming."" Bob Colwell Revolution Drum"
