This book provides a handy study practice and resource guide for all musicians who are seeking to improve their music-making abilities. Though written by a drummer the text exercises and etudes in this book are not for drummers only! And while a go od number of the exercises can be sung or played on any instrument the reader is encouraged to tap these rhythms out: "playi ng" your thighs with your hands for example will work just fine. The examples can be performed solo or in a small group.
