Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need to read drum music?
Yes. Fills are written in standard drum notation, so you need to follow noteheads across the staff.
02Is this good for beginners?
Better once you can hold steady time and play basic beats. Fills only make sense in the context of a groove.
03Does it include audio examples?
No. This is a print book with no accompanying audio.
04What styles does it cover?
Fills are largely style-neutral patterns. Most transfer across rock, pop, and related kit playing.
