Drumcraft

Percussive Notes calls Drumcraft "very thorough and well sequenced" and Modern Drummer says it's "useful and a heck of a lot of fun!" Author Andy Ziker bases his unique new beginning method on his many years of playing and teaching experience. He covers the following topics in detail: how to practice, drumset vocabulary, techniques for hands and feet, sticking options, reading, writing and playing rhythms, beginning patterns, rock beats and fills, and much more. The two accompanying CDs let students hear all of the examples. They are playable on any CD player and also enhanced so Mac and PC users can adjust the recordings to any tempo without changing the pitch.
