Cherry Lane Drumming The Easy Way! By Tom Hapke Standard

This new book takes the beginning drummer through the paces - from reading simple exercises to playing great grooves and fills. Each lesson includes a preparatory exercise and a solo. Concepts and rhythms are introduced one at a time, so growth is natural and easy. Features large, clear musical print, intensive treatment of each individual drum figure, solos following each exercise to motivate students, and more! I highly recommend (this book) to students and teachers. The information is easy to understand and progresses at a good pace. - Joe Porcaro
