The Complete Idiot's Guide to Playing Drums, Second Edition, is the perfect must-have book for any beginning drummer interested in learning the basics of the instrument. Unlike traditional music 'practice' books that either assume some knowledge of percussion or are limited to musical instruction, this book covers everything the aspiring drummer needs to know. In addition, this newly revised edition contains an audio CD that contains all exercises and solos from the book, tuning examples, and play-along tracks that allow the reader to hear drum beats with or without musical accompaniment.
