Learn over 70 ESSENTIAL drum beats with My Music Workshop！ These beats， or grooves， cover two different time signatures and can be played in lots of musical styles。 To learn you only need a drum set with a bass drum， snare drum， and hi-hats！ This book is great for any aged child or beginning drummer。 We also cover what kind of drums you need to start playing， the basics of reading music， how to hold the sticks， how to play the bass drum pedal， how to set up your drums， and more。 Kids and beginners of all ages will start playing right away with our simple and fun learning method。 The focus of this book is drum beats。 They are the most important part of drumming。 Drum fills and solos are the icing on the cake。 They are tons of fun， but without the cake， you can’t have the icing！ So， we’ll learn grooves first， then we’ll move on to learning fills， and beats using the tom-toms in a later book。 Most of all we are going to focus on having fun while playing。 We PLAY music， and PLAYING is fun。 So， let’s have fun！
