This book is by far one of the best all-in-one methods for drum set on the market. You can use this book to take someone with 0 music experience and get them playing and reading music at a high level. I say this because I teach several kids and adult drum classes during the week and IT WORKS. Kudos to Mark and Stanton for putting the curriculum together in a logical, progressive format.

Great Book

This is a fun book with great play-alongs. Kids love to learn the songs. It covers many styles very well.

Seriously?

The only reason I'm smearing the rating of this BOOK and not giving it more stars is because it has words in it. Come on, it's a drum book! There's no use for words in a drum book anymore! My kid's drum teacher actually wants him to read words while he practices! I mean, seriously???

Good Lesson Book

The only reason this gets a 3 is because it comes with a CD or practice songs. No one uses CD's anymore, they are even making most laptops without the drive at all. My son's teacher wants him to listen to this CD while he practices, and we have to jump through hoops to try and make it happen. Very frustrating when one is not tech saavy.
