 I'm a beginner.... Oct 06, 2008
I am a beginner, but I was told that this is a great book to start with. My teacher suggested it, and am learning a lot from it. I have found that a lot of drummers mention this book, so its probably safe to assume that it has great value
Awesome basics! Apr 16, 2008
This is a fantastic book to learn all the drum syncopation you need to set yourself apart from any other drummer

The Real Thing Jul 25, 2007
If you want to significantly improve your independence skills, buy this book and then find an instructor who can show you the more than 40 different ways to apply it to the drum set.
Alan Dawson used this book extensively with his students. Thankfully, one of his students has documented those 40+ ways. See "The Drummer's Complete Vocabulary As Taught by Alan Dawson" (Paperback), by author John Ramsay. Ramsay did a great job of identifying (and providing audio examples) of the numerous ways you can apply Syncopation.
An excellent precursor to this book is Jim Chapin's "Advanced Techniques for the Modern Drummer". That book will help you develop the basic independence you'll need to dive into Syncopation. Or if you already possess the ability to play the swing ostinato while playing swung eighth notes and triplets and sixteenth notes between your snare drum and bass drum, then you can likely dive right in.
The real deal Mar 29, 2007
Any drum teacher worth having will insist you buy this book. I bought this for my daughter who will be adding jazz drumming to her arsenal of rock drumming. This is one book all drummers should have

All music students could benefit from this book. Jan 15, 2007
I am currently using this book to teach my son basic drumming with a roland practice pad. It has been a fantastic help.
This book would be helpful to any beginning student learning to read music, not just drummers, since it so clearly breaks down rhythmic notation. The exercise progressions make a lot of sense, and there are quarter note guides that align the drum notes relative to the downbeat, which is very helpful for learning syncopation.
