I am using this book with a young man of 7 years old and he is learning to play the drums the right way - reading music, counting, the whole deal with very little effort or pain. I highly recommend this book as well as the original Realistic Rock book (for older kids and adults). Excellent teaching materials! That being said, I still feel strongly that a drummer needs a good rudimental foundation - so I use the Haskell Harr book in conjunction with this one.
Just great and his character grows on you. Fun! A delight and and big help in my studio with new students and those not too proud to begin at the beginning. Excellent.M. Hinton
I teach start-up beginner drum lessons, and the thing I like about this book is that it gets to the point for anyone antsy about learning drum set beats without an excess of rudimentary pad time. While this can be have pros and cons in developing foundational discipline toward expert stick control, it does prove a nearly instant way to get any beginner into applied basics. For a lot of us, we can venture into learning music with an "I just want to play, NOW!" mindset; this fits the bill.Also, for more experienced, self-taught-by-ear players, it's a great introduction for learning how to read drum music and written rhythm. So if you're already a good player who wants to learn to read, put aside your "Aaaaah, it's for KIDS" attitude and buy the book; it's so basic and easy that you'll be demystifying music reading in no time. Go on, it'll be good for ya! Besides, once you learn to read it, you can write it, too. :-) Plus, Carmine's tear out posters are a chuckle and suitable for framing ^_^
This book is filled with a lot of what I call "fluff" i.e. pictures, mundane explanations, tons of space in between exercises. Be that as it may, this book is great for a complete beginner who understands quarter notes and eighth notes. The book also includes eight-note beats and fills. A younger student would need a teacher to guide them through this book, but an older student -- especially one with a basic music background, or knows another instrument-- would be able to self teach with this book.I gave this book three stars because of the fluff. Not only does it feel like a waste of paper, but also a waste of money. Without the fluff, more beats and concepts could have been added, which would have made this book a lot better.
As a drum teacher.this is perfect for kids ages 6 and up.kids interested in learning drums will definitely learn quick and easy with this book..they made it fun for the kids..
It's advertised appropriately, it just didn't cover as much ground as I was hoping. I will use it as a supplement with another few books when teaching.
was purchased as a gift and the recipient was so excited. I will ask how they enjoyed next time I see them. The item shipped fast and was as expected.
Great book for beginners. This was recommended for my son by his drum teacher.
