Widely recommended by Australian/NZ drum teachers, The Complete Drummer's Guide presents everything in one logically and progressively graded formula, a formula that includes:
• All aspects of reading drum music
• The 40 standard snare drum rudiments (plus additional hybrid rudiments)
• Groove playing in a variety of musical styles, including: Rock, Blues, Funk, R&B, Reggae, Jazz and Latin etc.
• Drum fills and soloing ideas
• Odd times / time-keeping
• Improvisation
In Australia/NZ, The Complete Drummer's Guide replaced Drumming From Top to Bottom Intermediate Bk/CD (TJ09001CD - the red book!). This latest edition features a new cover (still with the red border!), even more pages, and on top of that, 35 all-new, fully-orchestrated backing tracks made available for download at no charge to those who have purchased the printed book within Australia and New Zealand.
With established sales of over 35,000 copies, this is hands-down the most popular drum book on the market.
