This book provides handy training, practice, and resourceful guide for all musicians who are seeking to improve their music-making abilities. Though written by a drummer, the text exercises and etudes in this instructional book are not for drummers only! And while a good number of the exercises can be sung or played on any instrument, the player is encouraged to tap these rhythms out: "playing" your thighs with your hands, for example, will work just fine. The examples can be performed solo or in a small group.
