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.
Written for parents/teachers of 2-6 year-olds and utilizes a color coding music notation system commonly seen in music video games. The book is organized in three skill levels giving the teacher or parent flexibility to decide which level best fits their childs abilities. Parents who don't even play drums will find this book easy to use as it covers everything you need to know to get your child drumming and having fun.
