About the book
Drumset for Beginners is an
exciting and innovative approach to teaching and learning how to
play drums. Even while acquiring the basics, students are given room
to ‘express’ themselves through the application of essential
structural and technical devices. More than this, the book then
takes a journey around all the key styles that are the cornerstone
of any drummer’s technique, offering a wide selection of subsidiary
materials that point the student in the direction of further study
once the basics of each style have been mastered. An accompanying
MP3CD allows the student direct aural inspiration, but also, the
featured play-alongs act as a goal and progress indicator for
student and teacher, as well as being great tracks in their own
right!
Here's what some people have said about Drumset For Beginners:
Drumset For Beginners: The Teacher's Guide, is a very well thought
out way of approaching a very difficult topic...teaching beginners.
How many of us who teach have asked "How do I start someone playing
the drums?"..."How do I keep it simple?"....it can be intimidating.
Paul and Jim have put together a program that simplifies the
process, with an emphasis on fun, fundamentals, and patience! I also
like the idea of this being a resource for self-teaching. The
play-along tracks are well produced, and cover several
styles...another good idea for beginners, especially
drummers...being multi-dimensional. Congratulations to you both!

This book is a concise and cohesive method for student AND teacher.
Its benefits are many and varied, covering aspects of playing and
understanding of the instrument that will prove invaluable!

I think it's great, just the right balance of keeping teachers and
students on a steady course without being too prescriptive and at
the same time opening people up to lots of music and other teaching
and listening material and giving them the options to go wherever
they want.

I love your book, there are lots of great hints and concept for the
journey understanding or better "overstanding" the art of Drumming.
We always have to take it Back, whatever level we are on, "Back to
the Basics, fill in the gaps and wholes. We do have to understand
how important it is to have a great solid foundation in modern
drumming., why? because we, drummers, are the "Backbone" of
contemporary music" Clear Thought, Clear Speech, Clear Drum...
…this is an incredible tool, great work...

I get to see lots of drum books from many drummers around the world
and the books I like must have good structure, easy to follow
lessons, be musical as well as rhythmic and inspiring, Paul and Jim
have achieved this with this book and I would recommend you add this
to your drum book library.
