How To Read Drum Music

Very easy to follow both the book and videos excellent for beginners

This is a great book. It’s a very quick read (maybe 30-40 mins) , and yes you could probably pick up much of the material elsewhere, but that would be to miss the point - treat this book as the paper manual for a web/book hybrid learning experience. Stu Segal is a real gent. He cares about learning. The authors’ goal is to set you out on a path to drumming built on an ability to study and read great music. Don’t take shortcuts. Buy this book.

A great reference to get you started on learning to read percussion music score. It is mostly conventional in its score though one or two things appear different to what I've been taught. I would personally use this in conjunction with having lessons.

Well explained. Makes it easier when used with the online video lessons.

Very clear and easy to understand which makes a change from most music theory books.

Great book, very easy to follow especially when you can get the live instructions on the web if your not sure of yourself reading.

Looks like a very useful guide to advance anyone who plays or wants to play drums

Great book works well with the videos Great work lads

Muy claro los pasos junto con los video que tiene vinculados a internet, para superar la barrera de poder leer las notas de una forma clara y entendible.

"How to Read Drum Music" is unique, brilliantly laid out and well written with lots of explanations and examples to back it up. Also, there is a web-site and YouTube videos that assist you in practicing what your taught in the book.

If you want to learn playing drums from scratch it is necessary to learn to read music. This book is a MUST for every beginner and very helpful. The language is simple enough to understand the terms. I would recommend to read the book while on the practice drum/pad and play as it says. This will lay a strong foundation of theory and train the brain on the play patterns.
