Series: Music Theory for Drummers

The Music Theory for Drummers series provides a clear path for drummers who want to learn music theory in focused steps, working through practical exercises designed specifically for drummers.

Book 1: An introduction to rhythm is an accessible introduction to the established conventions in music notation, with clear examples, and advice on how to approach music reading and organise a workable practice routine. Topics include note and rest values, simple time signatures, counting methods, how to read and write notation, and much more.

This book is suitable for drummers coming to music theory for the first time, and for those looking to improve their general music literacy and understanding of music theory. Books 2 and 3 offer a natural progression from Book 1 and explore additional areas of rhythm-based notation, including compound time, tuplets and navigating lead sheets.
