SNARE DRUM TECHNIQUE

•Accent on Accents, Book 1 (Fine/Dahlgren): http://amzn.to/2rABOtT

•Accent on Accents, Book 2 (Fine/Dahlgren): http://amzn.to/2rhQv5A

KEV'S COMMENTS: I had the great privilege of studying with both of these authors--Elliot Fine and Marv Dahlgren. The books require above-average patience and attention to detail, but deliver tremendous results.

SNARE DRUM METHODS

•Elementary Drum Method (Roy Burns): http://amzn.to/2rhZH9J

•Intermediate Drum Method (Roy Burns): http://amzn.to/2qheo8S

KEV'S COMMENTS: The Burns books are great for the student who's new to drumming, and new to music. They assume no prior knowledge, and progress at a very reasonable rate.

•Fundamental Studies for Snare Drum (Garwood Whaley): http://amzn.to/2rhRfaC

KEV'S COMMENTS: The Whaley book is perfect for a person with some music background (a couple years of piano, perhaps), who is new to drumming. It dives into odd meters quite early in the book, which is daunting for the total newbie. It is full of duets, which are well-conceived and really fun to play. My only disappointment with the book is that it does not treat 6/8 time in the way a marching band drummer would be expected to play in 6/8 time.

XYLOPHONE AND MARIMBA

•Fundamental Studies for Mallets (Garwood Whaley): http://amzn.to/2qQbafn

Elementary Drum Method By Roy Burns Youtube

KEV'S COMMENTS: Another exceedingly well-conceived method by Mr. Whaley. Interestingly, he includes many super-familiar melodies which have a couple of notes here and there which are not what we would expect. It could be that he did that specifically to ensure that the student is not just playing the melody by ear, but I can't say for sure. I do find it a bit annoying.

DRUM SET

•Ultimate Realistic Rock (Carmine Appice): http://amzn.to/2qkMvfE

KEV'S COMMENTS: Carmine's book progresses at quite a brisk rate. It is full of 8-bar and 12-bar and 16-bar etudes which utilize all the grooves learned in the previous section. These are challenging and fun. He does have the student learn some techniques for which--for the life of me--I can't see the value. I have my own method of teaching these sections, which make them instantly applicable to the real world of the gigging drummer. Two CDs are included, and I have a hard time getting my students to listen to them.

•Studio/Jazz Drum Cookbook (John Pickering): http://amzn.to/2ri0OGB

KEV'S COMMENTS: This is perhaps the best-conceived and best-executed book in my drum library. It is full of extended etudes that combine everything previously learned in ways that are fun and challenging and completely applicable to the needs of the gigging jazz drummer. One note of warning--a drummer who tries to learn to play jazz without immersing himself in recordings of the great jazz drummers will always sound like a poser.

•Future Sounds (David Garibaldi): http://amzn.to/2rAK1ON

KEV'S COMMENTS: This book will bend your mind! David Garibaldi approaches funk drumming like a mathematician, and achieves grooves that you would never just stumble upon through experimentation. Five stars! If I ever get a prolonged chance to practice drums again, this will be the first book I reach for.

Bless a usb for legacy boot free. STUDIO APPLICATIONS

•Vic Firth Stereo Isolation Headphones: http://amzn.to/2qX2HYo

KEV'S COMMENTS: For the drummer who practices with recordings (and ALL of us must!) or needs monitors in the recording studio, these are essential. Before these hit the market, I bought a pair of headphones based on the same principle, and paid $170 for them. In a recent recording session, I did an A/B test between my phones and these Vic Firth ones. Vic Firth blew mine out of the water, at less than 1/3 the price.

Written by Roy Burns

This is by far one of the best books to learn how to read drum music. This is actually my first book too. It was written a while ago. However, that does not mean that it is obsolete in any way. The older books tend to be better books. When it comes down to learning an instrument. Pretty much all of the Roy Burn Books are good. It is very difficult to pick out your first books because you would typically be new at this point and unaware of what is available to you. Allow me to take the stress off of you and recommend this book as your first!

The book also teaches the basic 26 Standard Snare Drum rudiments at the beginning. Most books typically cover this at the beginning of the book. I would suggest that if you want a more in-depth book on rudiments to look at “The Drum Rudiment Bible“, by D. Mark Agostinelli. That book is considered the absolute most complete book for rudiments and beginners should become familiar with those rudiments early on. If you want to see more about that book, check it out

What is inside of Elementary Drum Method, by Roy Burns

The first couple of pages Burns explains the measure and what it looks like.

It introduces you to bars. what double bars are, End of Strain Repeat marks, etc.
Introduces you to Notes and Rests, and what they look like.
It has the basic comparative table that will introduce you to whole notes, Half, quarter, eighth, sixteenth and thirty-second notes.
Talks about Dynamics and their Italian name. Such as; forte, mezzo piano, and fortissimo, etc.
It has a couple of pages on turning and how to properly keep a drum.
How to hold sticks (traditional style)
Then, it goes into the 26 Standard Snare Drum Rudiments.
Time Signatures – Mainly the 4/4 Time Signature
Then it begins with very easy note reading and gradually gets harder and harder as the pages are turned.

Roy Burns will take you on a journey throughout the entire book. By the time you are finished. You will have a general understanding of all the major subjects involved with reading music for the snare drum. It does not cover how to play “drum set” though. It is important to note that you have to at least read a couple of books that are about snare drum only in the beginning. It may seem slow at first. This is fine!

After a while, you will begin to see the fruits of your work. Learning how to read is extremely powerful, and will contribute greatly to your drumming and percussion life. If you have a teacher that tells you that learning how to read music is a waste of time. It means that he doe
