  • Private teachers who already run the Harr method
  • Concert or school percussionists building rudiment and reading fluency

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

Book Two

It assumes Book One's material. Starting here without that foundation skips the groundwork the exercises build on.

Detail 02

Snare drum method

Written for concert and rudimental snare, not kit. Sticking, rudiments and reading rather than beats.

Detail 03

Print book

Notation on paper. No accompanying recordings, so you set your own tempos with a metronome.

Detail 04

Haskell W. Harr method

A traditional rudimental approach used widely in school band programs. Progresses in graded, sequential exercises.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Book One is a separate purchase and comes first in the sequence
  2. 02No drum, sticks, pad or metronome included
  3. 03A practice pad is enough for most of it — no full drum needed

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Do I need Book One before this?

Yes. This is the second volume in a graded sequence and builds directly on the material and reading level established in Book One.

02Is this for drum set or snare drum?

Snare drum. It covers rudiments, sticking and reading for concert and rudimental playing, not drum set grooves or coordination.

03Does it include a CD or audio downloads?

No. It is a print method book with notation only. You will want a metronome to set and hold tempos.

04Can I use this on a practice pad?

Yes. Most of the material is stick technique and reading, which works on a pad. A real snare helps for dynamics and buzz rolls.
