BackBone Drums Level 1 Tuition Book and CD including over 30 backing tracks for playing along to and practice!
'Comprehensive core studies for the modern drummer' written by Dave Hazlewood, music by Dan Wright
Drums are the backbone of any band. This series of books is designed to be the backbone of a drummer's knowledge by looking into a huge number of concepts, techniques and styles in a clear, logical and easy to follow way.
With many years of professional drumming experience gigging, touring, recording and teaching, these books have been written and arranged in a practical order, with an aim of giving the most realistic lesson structure to a student wanting to apply their drumming in the real world. This is not just about passing exams!
Level 1 Following on from the Foundation Level book, we now look into more note values including eighth note triplets, sixteenth notes and off beats. We start suing the hi-hat pedal, look at tied notes and explore the concept of 'feel' in playing.
