This book uses a common sense approach to learning how to play the drums. It walks you through the very basic steps that are often taken for granted in most other drum method books. Assuming that you don't know how to read music, this book will easily explain how to pick up a pair of sticks and begin to play without the material going over your head. All though the book may seem very simple in the beginning, as you progress you will be challenged with learning how to play snare drum solos, advanced grooves and drum fills. This book has been tested on students of all ages and is written by a professional drum instructor with more than 25 years experience. If you are looking for a one stop drum method book that teaches rudiments, 4-way coordination and much, much more, then How To Be A Drum Star is the book for you.
