The purpose of this book is to take rhythmic figures, originally learned on the snare drum, and apply them to the drumset. In doing this, the student is introduced to several cross sticking and drum-to-drum patterns using eighth, triplet and sixteenth notes. This approach to the drumset is an excellent way to develop the coordination and speed of getting around the drums with ease, while also helping with soloing.
