great for refresher and beginner

this book is perfect. shows you everything you need to know,from what each drum is, cymbals, why & where, proper way to hold sticks, and wonderful training techniques and practices. I also pull it up on YouTube and play them as well. I also got the drum set method. I recommend it really to all drummers.

A very good book for anyone taking drum lessons with a teacher.

For the last 8 years my passion for music has grown so much that I have learned how to play (at least to some degree) numerous musical (Ukulele, Harmonica, Recorder, Flute, American drumming and hand drums, and many other percussion) instruments. Over the years I have taken many courses and purchased numerous books to improve my skill level.I just purchased this wonderful 80 page manual (Alfred’s drum Method book 1 by Sandy Feldstein and Dave Black) which is organized into 39 drum playing lessons. The introductory part of this volume covers the snare drum, getting ready to play, the bass drum, the cymbals and elements of music. The lessons cover a wide range of drum practice lessons but without a drum playing teacher it will not be easy to follow some of the material. They do have a Drum DVD available for purchase which no doubt will help in learning the lessons in the manual.If you are taking drum lessons this book will enhance your drum learning sessions.Rating: 4 Stars.

Great way to learn drums

My drum teacher uses this book and helps me a lot so I got one for myself and is a lot of help.

JUST THE SNARE AND BASS DRUMS

I know everyone says you should start here when learning to play drums. I'm not so sure. This book seems to have been written in 1987 for a kid in a marching band who has a music teacher working with him. I'm trying to learn my way around my new drum kit, but this book has nothing about coordination or technique with toms or cymbals. There seems to be almost no explanation at all of what's going on - just a few pages of reference material then endless pages of sheet music to play the snare and bass drums with increasing complexity. I'm following the book, but without other resources like a real instructor and YouTube channels, this book won't be much help. In fairness, it was written at a time well before people attempted to become self-taught at anything.

Good practice drum and music for beginners

My son can play most of the music he started drumming last year. He likes it and took it home to practice where his mom has a snare and high hat in the garage so I'd say he enjoys it more easily than a big set at times.

I use this book often

This is a great book for beginners to intermediate drummers. I use it with my students often. It does jump a litlle bit without explaing some of the notation changes, but overall, it's still a great resource

Get it, and don't call me Sandy.

Alfred is my best friend. That's truth. I only wish I could Alfred in person, but I have recently discovered that Alfred is no longer with us. He apparently was a man named Sandy. I suppose I would forgo using my real name when writing a book about drum methods. "Sandy's Drum Method".... nope, it just doesn't have the right sound (get it? .. right sound?)Anyway, the book is great for those wanting to learn the basics of reading snare drum sheet music. It won't make you a master of the drum, but it is a step in the right direction. If you have a yearning to learn drumming, or just want to know why some music notes look so very weird, this book will help you in either case.

There are not many good Snare Drum books most are for drum kit

There are not many good Snare Drum books most are for drum kit, the CD is a major help. Well laid out easy to understand. I will be using this book as part of my teaching.

It is ok

Not as good as I thought it would be but it's nice anyway. I'll use it once in a while for my lessons.

This was for snare drum

This book is not for single snare drum as it sounds like in the description. This I should of returned

Muy bueno para aprender rudimentos, figuras y para aprender a leer partituras para caja. Tiene diferentes lecciones con dificultad progresiva donde te van enseñando los diferentes tipos de figuras con ejercicios y un solo al final de cada lección que ayuda a asimilar lo aprendido. Muy recomendable para principiantes.

Gutes Sparpaket

Wie in der Überschrift erwähnt, handelt es sich um ein gutes Sparpaket und ist wegen des Pads speziell für Anfänger gut geeignet, die noch nicht über ein eigenes Schlagzeug verfügen. Allein wegen der Schule und dem Pad lohnt sich dieses Paket finanziell. Mit der Schule habe ich ausschließlich gute Erfahrungen gemacht. Zu erwähnen ist lediglich, dass der Einstieg, eventuell inbesondere für junge Schüler, sehr oder fast zu schnell ist. (Viertelnoten werden zu wenig vertieft, bevor es dann gleich mit Achteln weitergeht)Der einzige große Kritikpunkt an diesem Paket sind die etwas globigen Sticks, die nicht wirklich für junge Schüler gemacht sein können.
