Description
Geared toward beginning band and orchestra students, this modern, musical approach to learning snare drum includes play-along audio files that feature full concert band recordings of band arrangements and classic marches with complete drum parts that allow the beginning drummer to apply the book’s lessons in a realistic way. This title also includes: fun-to-play solos and etudes; duets that can be played with another drummer, a teacher, or with the play-along audio files; studies in 4/4, 2/4, 3/4, 6/8 and cut-time; roll studies that can be applied in both rudimental (double-stroke) and orchestral (buzz-stroke) style; the 40 Percussive Arts Society International Drum Rudiments (including modern drum corps rudiments); and much more! The Hal Leonard Snare Drum Method has been carefully graded and aligned with several popular band methods, including Essential Elements. There is simply no better way to prepare for playing snare drum in a band or orchestra! The audio is accessed online for download or streaming and including PLAYBACK+, a multi-functional audio player that allows you to slow down audio without changing pitch, set loop points, change key, and pan left or right–available exclusively from Hal Leonard.
