I love this book! It's the one I've been teaching from for...nott even sure how long, probably about 15 years. I love how the book adds rhythms gradually and systematically. Several of my students that I started with book have gone on to professional music careers!
Alfred's Drum Method, Books 1 and 2 are the ideal teaching tools to help prepare beginning players for all styles of snare drum and percussion performance. Book 1 contains 80 pages of excellent sequential instruction covering rudimental studies, roll studies, contest solos, and bass drum and cymbal technique. Book 1 also includes 23 solos suitable for recitals and contests.
