Musical Studies for the Intermediate Snare Drummer - Snare Drum Method

The purpose of this text is to provide the intermediate drummer with a collection of musical studies which will 1. increase their technical ability and 2. develop musicianship.

Musical Studies for the Intermediate Snare Drummer is divided into two sections. Both sections are saturated with dynamic markings in order to cultivate the student's sense of musical expressiveness. The first section contains fifteen studies in both simple and compound time. No rolls or embellishments are used in this section in order to allow the student time to become completely familiar with dynamics and accent. The second section contains an equal number of studies but make extensive use of flams, drags and rolls of carrying duration.

It is my sincere hope that this book will provide the serious student with an effective and musical approach to drumming.
