Drumset Safari

Drumset SAFARI is a comprehensive drum set playbook for beginners to professionals. On bulging 136 pages the drummer gets an extensive fund of 144 drumset solos from the short beginner piece in rock rhythm to the complex professional piece in samba rhythm.
"Drumset SAFARI" is suitable for beginners as young as 7 years old to quickly learn the notes on the drumset. It is helpful that the difficulty level increases continuously, because from the first to the last piece, each solo builds a groovy, motivating bridge towards the next solo.
A drum teacher can use "Drumset SAFARI" in his lessons as a supplement to any textbook as soon as the student plays simple quarter beats according to notes.
Very helpful are the elaborate hand phrases notated from the beginning, which must be followed exactly so that annoying crossings of the arms are avoided.
Through the early notation of all dynamics, the musical design possibilities are trained, which is important if one wants to play in different groupings later on.
But also advanced students learn a lot of new things on the drums. With countless typical playing styles such as groovy rock beats, swirling drums to swinging jazz rhythms, he can immerse himself in the comprehensive feeling of known and unknown music styles from disco to waltz, samba to boogie woogie, a real novelty in the modern drumset literature.

By the way, everyone is allowed to make his/her individual safari on the drumset:.
1: She/he plays through the booklet from the first to the last solo.
2: He/she chooses his/her favorite music style, e.g. rock, and plays through these pieces one after the other.
3: He/she chooses 2 music styles at the same time e.g. Latin and Folk and plays these pieces in turn.
4: He/she plays only the solos that are fun to play, regardless of the style, and can also play through the eight chapters.
