My son used this book in his music lesson so I bought a copy for him to practice at home. Great for beginners simple beats and clear book layout

I have been personally drumming for around I would say 2-3 years at the least and in no way means a good drummer. Do not get me wrong I love to play and improve and if the possibility of playing with people came up, I would take the chance in a heartbeat. This book is an insight to grading for drummers. The grading can help towards UCAS points for high education purposes (depending on the results of the grades) as well as a sense of achievement and goal to aim for. As someone who loves to pick up and play it’s a great insight to what is measured and graded for a grade and anyone who wants to take drumming seriously – I would highly recommend picking this up to even just to read and try to play along. It goes over in detail the songs and notes to play. It even has a wide range of music to start off with from well known artists to old hit legends. For the price it is a steal!!!
As anyone wanting to pickup the drums and learn seriously, I would recommend.

I was expecting great things from this book based on reviews but feel a little disappointed, but that may be more down to my choice rather than content. The book I would say is more like a reference book with the accompanying downloads all being bundled into various folders. If you’re a parent like me who’s had a child at home without drum lessons, I don’t think this is the best place to start.
From my perspective I’d rather have bought a book that teaches progressive exercises that build into a song in a much more user friendly and readable format (especially for a 9 year old) along with rudiments and paradiddles that build on existing skills.
For me it just feels a little disconnected. Like I said, I don’t think it’s a bad book, just not right for us.

Timely delivery, no damage. Needed it for drum lessons.

Book was great, music that goes with it worked, but only on a laptop which made it hard as my son has ipad and android phone and we couldn’t get it to work on either.

Standard Textbook for starting out on the drums
by ccdelc
it’s a good book introduced by my teacher and I think it’s not suitable for self-learning, but need to learn follow a tutor
by Susan Shaw
This was a good buy for future use, but not really basic enough for a beginner. But am keen to use it regularly
