Author David Stanoch
One author's specific approach rather than a general survey, so the concepts stay consistent all the way through.
Detail 03
Introducing the Standard Timetable
Built around one organizing framework. Value comes from working the system, not from dipping in for isolated exercises.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this good for a total beginner?
Not really. It assumes you can already read rhythms and play. A first-steps drum method is a better starting point.
02Do I need a full kit to use it?
A practice pad covers a lot of it, though anything requiring limb independence needs a kit.
03Is there a Volume 2?
This is labeled Volume 1, so the series continues past this book. Confirm which volumes are currently available before ordering.
04Does it include audio?
This is the print book. Plan on a metronome for timing reference.
