This book has been one of the first things I open up every day to get the hands going. Rudimental drumming is a great daily medicine for percussionist of all levels in all areas (jazz, drumset, orchestral, etc.)
I have used this book for a couple of decades for my own studies and for teaching as well. My old copy was starting to show its years of wear and tear. I'm really glad I was able to easily find this indispensable classic on your web site.
An American classic...must have for all young traditional drummers
Already have one book that is many years old. In fact the price is $1.50 on the cover. Anyway I needed another copy. your web site was the least expensive. I will check you first when looking for other drum music. It also arrived in about 2 or 3 days. Very impressed. Thank you.
Even if you never plan to play with a marching band, this book is full of great pieces that are well worth learning. You get to hone your skills on music that is actually a lot of fun to play. After you've mastered Stone's Stick Control, this book should be next.
It's a great teaching aid. And a book to keep for rest of your drumming career. I had to replace my first edition book. But I miss the original font. Doesn't feel as nostalgic as before.
