I'm getting back into percussion after a thirty year break to raise a family and stuff like that. This book plus "Stick Control" and "Syncopation" are great books to start with. I have downloaded the CD (included with the book) to my PC, then I play and repeat each track and play along. If you can't read music, hearing the track played as you look at each exercise will get you going quickly. I'm very happy with this purchase.

PROS:Jeff Strong provides this extremely organized book that will benefit everyone from the beginner to the expert. He covers the majority of percussion instruments with details down to their history, tuning, and maintenance so that you don't have to only be a kit drummer. I like his personal suggestions on practicing techniques which usually can only be found in expensive drum lessons. These practice tips are essential for not developing bad habits that will hold you back from getting as good as you can get in the shortest amount of time.CONS:Could use more practice technique detail like what he meant about, "Singing the rhythm before playing it". He also decided not to cover the rudiments of the Tablas because they can be daunting but instead listed his website for more info. The CD covers numerous rhythms that are written out in the book but only two measures of each so you can't practice along with them. The rudiments cheat sheet is not organized very well, lists only the 26 American rudiments, and has small print making it hard to practice from a music stand.

The 'for Dummies' series continues to provide a useful format for quickly finding the information the reader needs.

awesome

My dad was happy to receive this book

Good book. I was a total beginner and it really helped me. I also recommend Tommy Igoe's "Groove Essential 1 and 2"

I am completely new to drumming and the rave reviews sold me on this book. At 55 I decided to take up something that I have wanted to do for decades, the drums. I purchased a decent beginners drum kit and looked for information everywhere. I have a handful of other "dummies" and "idiots guide" on various subjects so i was willing to give this author's ideas a shot. The problem is the author really doesn't have any ideas. Most of it was "after a while, you will find what you like" with very little "here is a good starting point". The author is very modest, which is refreshing, but I expected more words of wisdom. I found more relevant and useful guidance on an internet site. I often read books and wonder who is the "target audience". This book does not seem to have one. It neither inspires to try and take up the drums (the author presumes you are already chomping at the bit) nor offers sound step by step guidance once you have made the jump. Additionally it seems poorly laid out. Too much of a brief and not very useful sentence about how to do something with an explanation that you will find it in another chapter. Almost like much of the first chapters of book were created as an after thought. It just didn't seem like he had any clear directionIn all fairness, I have no other learn to play the drums guides to compare this one, so it very well may be the cream of the crop.The accompanying CD is less than stellar. The layout is poor and seems like it was a few random files copied to a disc and the sounds in a separate folder. If you don't have the book in front of you, the sounds are so poorly labeled that you search in vane for what you want. Would it have been so difficult to have a better naming convention and maybe some separate sub-folders? Also, there are files that have multiple uses. Why not just have a separate file for each demonstration? It's just a few extra bytes on the disc.Having only bought one other book '4-Way Coordination' as a guide for later on, I have nothing else as a reference, but frankly I would call you local library to see if they have a copy, rather than spend the money.

Great, thanks
