DRUMSET TRIOS
&
QUARTETS
34 Trios & Quartets for Drumset(s)
$39.95 w/CD
Andreas Schwarz
This collection contains
34 drumset trios and quartets suitable for beginners as well as
those who are a little more advanced. If you already know
my two-volume DRUM METHOD, then you
are going to know roughly what to expect from this book; if not,
then why not take a look at these study materials as well?
I have noticed that young drummers greatly prefer practicing and
particularly performing in groups rather than alone. This
positive experience, which started with a group performance of
about 10 pieces in 2008, has led me to write and publish a
complete collection, in many styles and time signatures. I
hope this book will give your young drummers a lot of happiness
and motivation.
The book contains all 34 scores.
The drumset parts you'll get with the enclosed CD-ROM, ready for
self-printing. . . .Andreas
