Mel Bay presents Snare Drum 101

Rob's goal in writing this book is to develop many of the skills necessary for the beginning to intermediate snare drummer. Each new concept is introduced with a page of exercise followed by short etudes that include the material being studied. Rob has taken the liberty of including what I feel is the best sticking combination for some of the exercise. I recommend the right hand lead system. If the students develop this consistent approach to sticking, they will have a good working system that will enable them to execute difficult passages and smoothly and accurately. Audio available online.
