The most important talent for a percussionist to have is a great sense of rhythm - but that sense by itself isn't enough to make you into the best musician you can be. Reaching your full potential depends on the skills you build up over time, and that takes hard work and practice. It also takes a solid foundation of knowledge to inform you every step of the way, and that knowledge is exactly what you can expect to find in this selection of percussion method and instruction books. Featuring resources aimed at every level from beginner to advanced, the lineup in these pages has something to offer no matter how experienced you are.

Naturally, choosing the right percussion method and instruction books for your needs depends largely on what sort of percussion you're planning to play. If you're in a marching band, for instance, Hal Leonard's Essential Elements for Band - Percussion and Keyboard Percussion is a well-rounded guide to cover just about any instrument you might take up. If you're focusing on keyboard percussion, another good suggestion would be the Alfred Fundamental Method for Mallets. For the snare, check out the Hal Leonard Snare Drum for Beginners. More interested in tenor or cymbals? You can find books for those as well.

Another angle you might take to the method books in this section is to go by your personal or ensemble style. For example, there's the KJOS Standard Of Excellence for Jazz Ensemble Drums if that's your kind of genre. On the other hand, for a more folk-oriented percussionist, you might prefer the Alfred Fantastic Familiar Folk Songs for snare drum and keyboard percussion. Both of these books are among the section's best sellers, and you can count on them to help you reach new heights with your performances.

Whatever your approach to playing percussion, there are method and instruction books here ready to support you. There's only one thing standing between you and the information packed inside them, and that's making the decision as to which percussion method and instruction books are the right fit for you. Nobody knows that better than you do, of course, so go ahead and take a good look through the options - you're sure to find some fantastic choices soon enough.
