Basic drum set coordination can be learned very quickly using vocal sounds instead of written notes. Drums from Day One is an adaptation of the proven solfege technique to the drumset. Solfege (singing musical notes with syllables) has been used for hundreds of years by teachers of virtually every other musical instrument. The traditional way of beginning the drums by studying andanalyzing written drum notation and applying various notes to the four limbs is a complex task that takes a good deal of time. Although reading and writing music will also be covered in this book beginners can get started muchfaster with the solfege system.This is not a quick fix or a promise to make you a drum expert in one day but this method has been tested and proven with hundreds of students over the years andit is very efficient and offers immediate results. The student will learn to play 8 songs in all the basic styles: Rock Blues Shuffle and Funk.The songs are especially designed and graded for beginners and are recordedwith and without drums on the companion audio. Includes access to online audio containing recorded examples of all the exercises in the book.
