Student Reviews

"While this book doesn’t have a etude to play out of like other books of its kind. It is a book solely devoted to the improvement of playing ability for rolls, paradiddles, flams, ruffs, drags, and the various variations of the different aforementioned techniques, and how to play them broken down to the most basic level. This book starts with rolls, and differences between five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, thirteen, fifteen, and seventeen stroke rolls. In an order that works with the easiest to begin with, to the hardest. This book lays out the different stroked rolls in a way that works with a student of middle school age and on. I don’t see why a college student or someone with a percussion studio wouldn’t be able to benefit from this kind of text. It goes on further with the different variations of the paradiddles and other rudiments in a similar way to the rolls, from the easier ones to the more difficult ones as the book progresses. There exercises for each section, but this is more of a workbook to build ability than a book to perform. So, before anyone buys this book with the intent to be able to perform anything out of it, that is not its intended use. This book is designed to make the playing of the covered materials easier, and give the material worked on more context and meaning." - Thomas Scott
