Drum Primer Book by Tim Wimer is the book for beginning drummers. Starting on the snare, it concentrates on stick control, counting and playing rhythms, and correct technique. It then progresses to the full drum kit, showing in detail several rhythm patterns, fills, and playing along with a full band. It also includes a complete section on assembling and tuning the drum kit, complete with many photos illustrating each step. Includes an audio CD that plays all the musical examples in the book and features a full band (bass, guitar, & keyboards) on five songs.
