Program Notes

This new, revolutionary snare drum method was developed to familiarize the percussion student with playing together, hearing and reacting to other (percussion) instruments right from the start.

The included play-along tracks make the student feel immediately part of a drum line or percussion ensemble. This makes practicing at home more attractive and accustoms the student early to the sounds of all kinds of other percussion instruments around them. This will enable him to play in a percussion ensemble sooner.

All the studies in this book have play-along tracks. Also included are groove tracks in different styles and tempos that can be used with the other exercises in the book.

The snare drum track on the play-along tracks can be faded out by turning the stereo balance control clockwise. This gives the student the feeling of being the drummer in the drum line or percussion ensemble.
