Hello, newbie here!
Hi all,
As suggested, I'm just writing to introduce myself...I started playing about 4 1/2 years ago, but really haven't had time to take it seriously (or money for lessons). Now that I'm done with school, I seem to have more time and am looking to improve my playing...and this forum has some really cool links.
I always wanted be a drummer, but my mom made me play the trombone instead because it was less "noisy." Funny thing is, I was a crappy 4th/5th chair trombonist and sat right in front of Johnny Rabb during high school jazz practice...
Anyways, I was wondering if anyone out there can recommend a good, fundamental beginner's book. When I first got my set, I bought Carmine Appice's Realistic Rock and played through it, but I really want to look for something that will help me with fundamentals and stick control (eventually I'd love to play more jazz). I've read that the book, aptly named "Stick Control" is a good text, but more for an intermediate-level player. I consider myself more of a beginner - I really wasn't able to play much while in school. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!  |
