Survival Guide for the Modern Drummer: A Crash Course in All Musical Styles for Drumset

There is a lot of content and many hours of audio tracks supplied with this book, really good value for money and really well thought out.This is not a complete coverage of drumming. You won't learn about technique, gear, drum fills or to o much theory. But you will get hundreds of backbone beats to learn to fill your repertoire, and backing tracks to practice them with, which is really invaluable!

Great content, though I docked a star for the strange decision to use for 'x' for rim shots on the snare. I've never come across this before in 20 years of drumming, unfortunately it makes the grooves harder to read and is unnecessarily confusing for younger drummers. Still, it's a great drum book and worth grabbing a copy.

Works as expected

Bought as son started drum lessons as his instructor recommended it ,

Great book, plenty of stuff go go at, varied genres and stacks of play along tracks having fun going through it.

Very good.

Very good!
