Another triumph in Paul Hose's tour de force Drumset for Beginners series! This book is an excellent beginners' book on the rudiments and applying them to the drumset to create grooves and includes an excellent classroom poster for quick reference. Starting out with suggested positions for holding the sticks, and how to get comfortable at the drumset, the authors then lay out the history of the rudiments and how the generally accepted Rudiments expanded over time to reach the 40 Rudiments.
