We have 5 copies available of the remarkable "Begin Drumming" book/CD by Jim McCarthy
This is the real A-Z book, covering all the essential tasks from the very first lesson of how to grip the sticks, to complex and advanced solos on kit. Professional ring-bound format so it sits flat on a music stand.
Quote from the Author: - "This is the book I wrote to use with all my own beginning students. I wrote it because there was no other book in existence that covered all the things these students needed".
