Drumset 101 is a comprehensive introductory method book that provides a broad overview of modern drum rhythms and styles. Rather than focusing on a single genre, this book supplies a compilation of fundamental coordination exercises adaptable to many musical contexts. It fills a long-standing gap for teachers and beginners by consolidating foundational instruction into one text, eliminating the need to purchase multiple style-specific books. Online audio access is included.
