It starts with structured lessons that train counting aloud, practicing across tempos, and performing quarter, eighth, dotted, triplet, and sixteenth-note patterns on the full drum set. The book continues with dedicated syncopation sets and progressive exercises to strengthen control, timing, and rhythmic independence.","PROGRESSIVE STEPS TO  \nSYNCOPATIONFOR THE MODERN DRUMMER  \nForeword  \nIn Every band or ensemble,the drummer is called upon to give that group aSolid rythmic foundation.Therefore it is important that every drummer haveExcellent music reading skills.The goal of this book is to first introduce basicMusic reading skills and then to explore many of the most commonsyncopation rythms found in today's music.  \nHere are some suggestions on how to practice the rythms and exercices found on this book:  \n\n| 1.Count out loud.This is a must in order to become a good reader.  \u003Cbr>2.Practice at various tempos from slow to fast.  \u003Cbr>3.Work on incorporating the syncopated rythms you learn in this book  \u003Cbr>around the full drumset(toms,cymbals,hi-hat,etc.).  \u003Cbr>4.Devote some of your practice tim to playing with a metronome   |\n| --- |\n\nRemember,there is no substitute for a good teacher  \nSince its publication,many drummers have asked me how I was inspired to write this book.I was teaching drums,giving 85 half-hour lessons each week with about 55 students.Monday toFriday.  \nFirst I would lesson to the student's last lesson and then write,demonstrate,explain and play withthem on their new lesson.  \nI then wrote all that stuff and made copies.I was carefull to protect my original work fromplagiarism until I recieved an official copiright from Washington,D.C.I published it in 1958 andnow it's in your hands/pc.
