I must say your first book is excellent. Having read several beginners books to learn the drums, I found yours to make the most sense. --Pete Thomas
Since I first began teaching drums, I ve been looking for a book that explains drum beats, music notation, and counting systems in an uncomplicated way for every beginner to understand. Steve has made it as easy as possible for any beginner to gain a good knowledge of playing the drums and reading music. This book/CD perfectly compliments my style and method of teaching, and I highly recommend it for all new players. --Ross Elder; Teacher and professional drummer
I've just borrowed your book titled The Really Easy Way To Play The Drums from the library. I would like to congratulate you on a very good instructional work. Many thanks, I look forward to an intermediate & advanced version soon. Thanks to you I'm beginning to believe I can do it. --Paul Taylor

Format:Paperback
As a learner drummer, I wanted an easy to read, step by step guide to the basics and a few styles. "The Really Easy Way" was just perfect! It's so clearly set out and encouraging that i found myself improving with each page. Some drumming books so complicated that it's off putting, but this takes you through each step simply - fully explaining each exercise. It's like a course of lesson all in one book!
A must for every eager drummer!

Format:Paperback
This format Ð book and CD Ð is just perfect. Steve's first book, although for beginners, still surprises the experienced drummer. You see patterns written, then when you hear them on the CD it opens up all sorts of understandings leading on to new ideas.
It must be a real revelation to a novice, and the quickest way to learn, because, once you hear it, it's just a question of practice for speed and smoothness (and from the tracks, it would seem Steve's a pretty smooth drummer!).
The book is well laid out, too, and well structured with a coherent progression. I can't recommend this book enough for beginners Ð and for experienced drummers who want or need a refresher course. Five stars and worth every one of them!

Format:Paperback
Great book for the first time drummer, it is very basic at the beginning but covers some good fills and grooves. I found it very well explained and was great for me to go back over the old stuff and correct or re-affirm what I have learnt so far. If you have just received your first drum kit THIS is the only book I would buy, when you can play it through then move on, if you have reached intermediate stage it's a pretty good book to go back over before moving onward.

Don't bother
If you want to read music and be bored within 5 minutes then I guess this is the book for you, if, however, you want to have fun whilst learning the rudiments buy something else!
