Introducing Full Drum Set Coordination As Soon As Possible.

 

What makes this method so unique is that all of the basic fundamentals, or the essential building blocks of drumming, are conveniently combined into this one complete and convenient formula. 

 

Another unique aspect is how this method introduces full drum set coordination, as soon as possible and sets this trend, right from the start and throughout the entire course. This is achieved by incorporating a unique 4 step process.

 

The 4 Step Process & How It Works.

 

In Step #1 - Musical notation (including the various snare drum rudiments) are firstly and progressively introduced, in the form of basic hand to hand, snare drum reading exercises. 

 

In Step #2 - Each of these music notation subdivisions, are then progressively applied to the drum set, in the form of coordinated drum beat patterns and fills, featuring styles such as: Rock, Blues, Shuffle Rock, Disco, R&B, Funk, Reggae, Hip Hop, Jazz and Latin etc. 

 

In Step #3 - Once mastered, these coordinated drum set patterns (presented in step #2) are then practically applied to the 108 backing tracks, firstly in a kind of jamming along to sense. 

 

In Step #4 - The student is then introduced to the chart reading aspect of playing along to the backing tracks.

 

The Benefits For Students When Playing Along To The Backing Tracks.

 

The 108 backing tracks are really the catalyst that enables students to  develop their practical drumming, live performance and sight-reading skills. 

 

There’s also another hidden benefit in utilizing the backing tracks, that being, students will also progressively develop precision timing, as well as a natural sense of feel, as they progress. 

 

Playing in time is the main role of a drummer and having all the technique in the world is no help, if a drummer can’t groove, or play in time.

 

“The Complete Drummer’s Guide,” offers a practical opportunity for thoroughly learning the basics and beyond and achieves this right from a beginners level and continues to do so, right through to an advanced level.

 

 

A Quick Overview Of The Subjects Covered.

 

“The Complete Drummer’s Guide,” covers: 

 

  •  All the standard snare drum rudiments (including a glossary section, listing in numerical order, all of the 40 standard snare drum rudiments, as well as several additional hybrid rudiments). 

 

  •  Music timing (ranging from quarter notes to thirty-second notes, and all the subdivisions in-between). 

 

  •  Grooves in the styles of: Rock, Blues, Shuffle Rock, Disco R&B, Funk, Reggae, Hip Hop, Jazz and Latin etc. 

 

  •  Drum fill & soloing ideas.

 

  •  Linear drumming patterns. 

 

  •  Grooves in odd times. 

 

  •  Extended Jazz & Latin coordination studies. 

 

  •  Additional re-work concept ideas (more about the re-work concept ideas in the next section).

 

  •  108 musical metronomic backing tracks, to play along to. 

 

  •  As well as written drum chart arrangements for the 108 backing tracks.

 

 

How The Re-Work Concept Ideas Expand The Drum Set Studies.

 

Throughout the book there are many different “re-work concept ideas,” and it is these “re-work concept ideas,” that really expand the book, and in fact, turn this method into a never ending, open ended, drum set study.

 

These re-work concept ideas are all about taking a basic written pattern and then applying each pattern, to the drum set, in a variety of different ways, as opposed to simply only learning, or memorizing a pattern, as it was originally written. In fact it’s these “re-work concept ideas” that will enable students to develop their improvising skills.

 

 

How Teaching The Drums Is Made Easier Than Ever Before. 

 

As mentioned above, “The Complete Drummer’s Guide” presentsall of the necessary steps compacted into one logically presented formula. A formula that has been well tried and proven,and one that makes the process of teaching the drums, much more simplified, more logical, and easier for you to present, than ever before.   

 

When teaching from this method you will notice that your students will always be eager to progress from lesson to lesson, and one of the main reasons for this factor, is based on the way the book has been logically and methodically laid out, combined with the practical application of the beats and patterns throughout the book, along to the 108 backing tracks, as well as the inclusion of the drum chart arrangements. 

 

In a nut shell, this method incorporates every important aspect of drumming, it’s incentive based and constantly builds as the student progresses. And this process helps to keep the attention and interest of each student, for the entire time, throughout their studies with you.

 

 

A Note To The Drum Student. 

 

Within the growing cruise ship industry, drummers and musicians, from all over the world, are regularly hired to perform in show bands. However, to succeed in this aspect of the professional music industry, one needs to be a competent sight reader, and to also beversatile in nearly all musical styles. This is where the drum chart arrangements will significantly help to develop your sight reading skills and your ability to perform in a variety of styles. 

 

As well as being a good sight-reader one also has to have a good musical ear, as well as to be a good improvisor. “The Complete Drummer’s Guide,” combined with a good teacher, will definitely help you achieve all of this, and a whole lot more.
