Volume 1 is the ideal teaching tool to help prepare beginning players for all styles of snare drum and percussion performance! Volume 1 uses orchestral snare as a precursor to playing drums.
Volume 2 is intended for intermediate and advanced players and completes the exploration of rhythms found commonly in music. Use volumes 1 & 2 to fine tune and maintain your timing.
Volume 3 explores advanced rhythms and concepts that most drummers never explore including duplets, quadruplets, quintuplets, septuplets, alternative notation, flat flams, polyrhythms, switching beat duration, rhythmic mnemonics, advanced time signatures, mixed rhythm accent patterns, and more.
