BEGINNING DRUMSET COURSE Series: On the Beaten Path Target: Beginner drummers Comment: A new, three-volume series that teaches drumkit playing through the use of well-known beats from famous songs in popular music history… Well, mostly modern rock, actually, but still, it will appeal to the kids and is a smart idea, using elements that they will be familiar with in terms of sound and feel.
