Book Review: Drum Set Warm Ups
Summary: 5 Stars

The book won't teach you how to play drums but I'm reasonably sure that unless your a top pro, whatever you can do now it will enable you to do better. It will certainly help me to developing greater control and precision.
Some of the exercises devised are tricky more than difficult and even an absolute beginner will be able to do them at some level. Being tricky makes it enjoyable to work through and I actually found myself laughing on occassions as 'auto pilot' took over and adjusted the sequence to suit myself. As a right hander I have now become aware of just how much I would benefit by working more on my left!

To summarise I would say that even if you have little or no technical or practical drumming skills you will be able to benefit from and enjoy this book. For those who do have the skills then this should be useful as a 'tune up' manual. If there is a downside at all it's that I found my practise time disappearing as there wasn't much left by the time i had enjoyed 'warming up' !
A book well worth buying in my opinion.
