Overview

This book starts out with simple sticking ideas and then has a few pieces with quarter notes and half notes. Progressively, it adds more exercises for developing sticking pattern techniques and gets into eighth notes. Then it gets into dynamics, accents, rolls, subdivisions, flams, sixteenth notes, and ties. Throughout the whole book there are pages called Stick Control that create multiple short exercises that one could do to warm-up. After one finishes at the Elementary level, there are also Intermediate and Advanced Snare Drum Studies written by the same composer.
