Shape Beats Series
Shape Beats: Drum Notation Simplified
A METHOD FOR ALL AGES! Shape Beats is a unique and simple approach to learning how to play the drumset. An alternative to standard drum notation, the book utilizes basic shapes, rather than complex music notation, allowing students to quickly learn and play-along with well-known songs. The book can serve as a sequel to Shape Beats for Kids, or as a beginning method for more developed students ages 10 and up.
Shape Beats For Kids
A METHOD FOR THE YOUNG BEGINNER! Shape Beats for Kids is a simple and fun way to learn how to play drums. Because many beginning students are still in the early stages of development and may not be able to comprehend standard drum notation, the book utilizes shapes---an instantly recognizable notational vehicle---to teach students basic drum beats. Each chapter contains play-along examples so the student can use their new beats to play along with the songs.
