At last a play-along which doesn't require supersonic speed and technique and yet is not aimed at one step up from the beginner. I was at first surprised that the fills were not written out but after listening to the fills played on the CD this gives the student a great way of inventing his or her own tasteful fills.

The Book seems really good, but the cd don‘t work and we tried different pissibilies… so we can‘t use is…. Very bad

Very impressive and well put together book. First sections explain the basic notations and what they are, so a beginner can start learning how to read drum notation in this book. Next the notations are put together in 2 bar phrases as examples. These examples are recorded on the CD, so you can read the examples and at the same time hear what they should sound like, giving the reader a audio example of what he/she is reading. May be old news for those that already have a grasp on chart reading, but it is extremely helpful for someone starting out. There is a total of 26 of these examples/lessons, before you get to the actual play-alongs, so from that perspective this is a great tool to help any drummer that wants to learn how to read drum charts, or anyone looking to improve their reading ability.Then there are the 40 play-along songs, all original instrumentals that are actually very good in their own right. Someone who likes instrumental music and is not a musician would simply enjoy having this as listening music. Very good quality recordings with top notch studio musicians. You get the full band mix, and then the same recording without the drums. The drumless tracks include a cowbell click through the entire song.There are 4-5 different songs for each genre, with Fusion having the most tracks: total of 8. The quality of the recordings, the musician ship of the players that perform these instrumental songs, and the compositions themselves are very good. (Actually some of the best play-alongs out there today). Some songs are easier, and some more difficult. And then a few from the Jazz, and Brazilian sections that will require a pretty serious mastery of your 4 way independence to even attempt, at least if you follow the notations from the book.Overall the book is a great tool to have for drummers of all levels, but to give fair warning: if you are a drummer who has played for some time and is just now starting to learn how to read, this is the beginner I am referring to in my review that will be challenged by the music, and this is a great learning tool for you. IF you are a beginner just starting out learning how to play drums and how to read drum notation, I would not recommend this specific book, there are other books better suited for those just starting out in the drum world.Having said that, for drummers with at least a solid year of playing, this is a wonderful tool to have as a learning resource. I highly recommend it.If you are a beginner drummer most of these instrumentals will be a HUGE challenge for you, intermediate players will find these instrumentals very challenging. And even a working drummer can

This book is too good..but we want printing quality of Music notation is more batter just Like Trinity books..Thanks
