This beginning method book presents an overview of today's contemporary drum rhythms and styles. Rather than focusing on one musical genre, Drumset 101 is a compilation of fundamental coordination exercises that can be applied to many different styles. This book aims to fill the void that has long existed for drum teachers and beginning students, providing one text for all beginning students instead of requiring the purchase of several books covering different styles. Includes access to online audio.
