The perfect book for the beginner to intermediate drummer (and their

based rhythms.
Text includes sections that develop:
Quarter, eighth and sixteenth note bass drum applications, time-keeping

variations, exercises to develop fluency between the snare drum and bass
drum while keeping time, and more!

simple drum patterns or complex ones.
