Drumscapes is a drum instructional book that is detail-driven and borders on a "how to" or "do it yourself" manual for playing drums, but works best as a method for drum students and their instructors or as a resource for music educators. The book comes with two CD's that provide listening examples. Drumscapes takes you through reading, writing and playing rhtyhm all the way to learning essential drumset skills for all levels. Written in a fun and non-intimidating manner, the book uses a multi-sensory and a mathematical approach. As a 2nd edition, Drumscapes now includes a section on drumset needs and maintenance, an extensive section on technique including photographs, and other expanded material.
