Each lesson introduces either a new concept or a Combination Study of materials previously
learned. It is important that the student masters each lesson before moving on to the next.
Each lesson is numbered (1) for easy reference and includes a "Study Guide" (2) that will be
helpful for the student to receive the maximum benefit from the materials presented on the
page . "New Material" (3) is indicated at the top of each page.
At first, it may be difficult to do an entire lesson every week. If so, a portion of the lesson
(one- half or one -third of the lesson) may be more suitable, especially if the student is also
practicing other material. The pages labeled Combination Stud), should be done as a
complete composition.
Metronome markings are not given (except for Lessons 47, 49, and 50) so that the lesson can be
practiced at a variety of tempos. A teacher can also assign a specific metronome marking if he
wishes. The ability to perform with a steady tempo and with accurate performance of the rhythms
is, of course, very important.
Specific stickings are not included so that each teacher can use his own method of teaching them
(except for Lessons 48-50) .
Dynamic markings and articulations should b e carefully observed so that the student's
musicianship will improve along with his reading and playing ability. When dynamics are not
indicated, they can be written in by the teacher, if so desired.
It is recommended that when the student is approaching a lesson that contains a new drumming
techniqtte that may be difficult (e .g., rolls, flams, etc.), the teacher should prepare the student for
it before reaching the lesson. For example, flams are introduced as new material in lesson 34. By
that time, the student should have been taught how to playa flam.
Duets, afte r each set of ten lessons, are a wonderful way to develop accuracy, balance, and
concentration.
INSIRUMfNIAIION
Some of these exercises can be practiced on a drum set, as well as a single instrument. Here are
some ways to use them with a drum set.
Another approach:
1. Ride cymbal, right hand, play steady eighth notes.
2. Snare drum, left hand, play only eighth notes in the written line.
3. Bass drum, play notes in the written line that are a quarter note or longer.
Also, try writing your own original patterns. Here is line 3 from lesson 10 in the snare, with new
parts written for bass drum and hi -hat.
There are many other ways to use these exercises on drum set. Use your imagination, and enjoy
the process.
