Mastering the Rudiments A Step-by-Step Method for Learning and Mastering the 40 P.A.S. Rudiments

這本書是我多年教學的結晶，我一直在努力尋找一種有效的方法來教授學生精准的擊鼓技巧。這種鼓樂風格的音樂字母表是代代相傳、寫了又寫、編了又編、擴了又擴的鼓樂基本要素。走在實驗鼓前沿的團體不斷設計出新的模式和擊打組合，這些模式和組合又成為新的鼓法，為了與這些團體一起表演或演奏為實驗小鼓編寫的獨奏曲，學生必須準確、精確、有力地掌握所有這些組合！

原文簡介:
This book is the culmination of several years of teaching, trying to find an effective way to teach students precision as it relates to rudimental drumming. The musical "alphabet" for this style of drumming is the "rudiments" as they have been handed down from generation to generation, written and re-written, compiled and expanded. The groups on the cutting edge of rudimental drumming are constantly devising new patterns and combinations of strokes, which then become "new" rudiments, and in order to perform with such groups or to play the solo literature written for rudimental snare drum, the student must master all of these combinations with accuracy, precision, and strength!
