After learning some basic beats, students of the drum set often ask, “how do I get to the next level?” Developing drum rudiments will open up a new universe on the drum set by building technique, speed, and dexterity. Playing these sticking patterns with the online grooves and beats creates another enjoyable dimension to the material.Applying new skills by playing with other musicians is an important part of the learning process. The online music tracks facilitate this and make it fun to play the examples in a musical setting. Each recorded example appears in two separate versions; one includes the drums as a reference, and the other leaves the drum tracks out so students can provide the drumming.All examples are written in standard drum set notation. Includes access to online audio.
