Today's drummer isexpected to have developed limb coordination to a degree that would have been thought unachievable a few short years ago. This text presents an effectivemethod of dealing with the mastery of drum set coordination by breaking it down into four sections: 1) Ride Cymbal - Right hand; 2) Snare Drum - Left hand; 3) Bass Drum - Right foot; 4) Hi-hat - Left foot. The author clearly states his goals in writing this book: It is my sincere wish that the materialspresented in [this] text will be of considerable help in developing musical approach to the coordination skills demanded of today's drummer. -John Pickering
