Fundamental Studies for Snare Drum - Snare Drum Method

Fundenmental Studies for Snare Drum is a beginning method book which covers all of the essential snare drum techniques. Included are many duets and odd-meter studies designed to prepare the student for performing today's band and orchestral literature.

Due to the many different approaches to teaching, descriptions, explanations, and sticking indications have been left up to the individual instructor. I have, however upon the introduction of each new rhythm, provided a basic method of counting. In order to allow the student to become accustomed to the rhythms and various meters present in this text, dynamic indications do not appear until the latter part of the book. - Garwood Whaley
