6This volume is beneficial for private instruction as well as group lessons. Private teachers will find that this method is both comprehensive and practical. Band directors can correlate most of the material with any elementary band series. The exercises, summaries, and rhythm studies maintain the attention and interest of the percussion section and provide accompaniment and reinforcement for the entire band. Various basic rhythmic patterns and combinations are introduced with increasing levels of difficulty. Each new pattern or combination is illustrated in detail showing the method of counting and tapping of the foot to be used. Several eight measure exercises develop stick control, coordination, rhythmic reading ability, and confidence, one rhythmic skill at a time. For a follow-up book which contains all the drum rudiments for the intermediate student level, use 94492 Rudimental Drum Method for the Intermediate Drummer.
