Learn to Play the Drumset - All-in-One Combo Pack: Complete Instruction from Beginner to Advanced

Great teaching book. I have never even held stix. I am playing, understanding the difference in tuning, sound and each drum and reading music. It's a great teaching tool.

the spine of the book is in great condition.

Excellent tutorial. Downloadable links are very useful.

Best for advanced beginners

Fantastic for learning!

I've purchased many books on drumming over the years. These include many well known authors (Stone, Adler, Burnes, Reed, etc.). Many of these publications are considered "bed rocks" of drum instruction. The "Learn To Play The Drumset" combo pack book by Peter Magadini is different in an important way. Rather than just providing text based rudiments and charted methods, Pete's book delivers a complete/practical set of drum patterns frequently used at gigs. He covers all music types, rather than focusing on a select few. Additionally Pete provides recorded examples and video clips to aid the student in mastering the lessons (accessible through halleaonard.com using a code found in the book). I found this especially helpful in learning the material quickly. From a practical standpoint I believe that Learn To Play The Drumset is the best complete guide I've used in my many years of drumming. Whether your just starting or an experienced drummer, everyone will improve when using this book. IMHO - it is a must have.

Not what I expected and not very useful for me. I wouldn’t recommend this for a beginner.

Es difícil encontrar métodos verdaderamente buenos, y en este caso queda demostrado. Llevo más de 30 años tocando distintos instrumentos y me decidí por este libro para iniciarme en la batería por recomendación de un foro. Me ha parecido caro (30 €), escueto, la escasa explicación sobre técnica se centra en temas irrelevantes mientras que pasa de otras importantes. Ni siquiera hace hace una explicación completa sobre la notación básica. Saltos repentinos en la progresión. Pésima referencia de las pistas de audio con los ejercicios (¿tan difícil era seguir la numeración de las pistas?)La verdad que esta editorial no la recomiendo, compré hace tiempo varios libros de transcripciones de canciones famosas para bajo y resulta que la mayoría de las canciones están incompletas...Pero bueno pasa con la mayoría de métodos, como digo es difícil encontrar material auténticamente bueno en la materia, aunque no por ello deja de ser útil y didáctico, pero a veces me parece que estos libros los escriben sin pensar demasiado.
