It’s one thing to pick up a pair of sticks and sit at a kit, but quite another to get anything recognisable as a beat going. What do all these pedals do? How many toms? And just what, exactly, is a paradiddle? Fortunately, help is at hand in the shape of basic Drum Workout, an entry-level introduction to the ride-crashing, skin-thrashing world of the drummer. Through a series of graduated exercises, the secrets of how to play riffs, fills and breaks are opened up to the beginner and the whole concept of drumming laid bare. If you’re making music, or you want to, this book is for you.
