Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this come with audio?
No. It's a notation book. You'll want the original recordings on hand to play along with.
02Is this good for a beginner?
Not really. It's transcription, not instruction, and assumes you can read drum notation and play a kit.
03Are the parts simplified?
These are transcriptions of the recorded drum parts, written to be played on a standard kit.
04Do I need a full kit?
Yes, a standard kit with hi-hat, snare, kick and toms. Some parts use percussion beyond the basic setup.
