(Percussion). Geared toward beginning band and orchestra students, this modern, musical approach to learning snare drum includes play-along audio files that feature full concert band recordings of band arrangements and classic marches with complete drum parts that allow the beginning drummer to apply the book's lessons in a realistic way. This title also includes: fun-to-play solos and etudes; duets that can be played with another drummer, a teacher, or with the play-along audio files; studies in 4/4, 2/4, 3/4, 6/8 and cut-time; roll studies that can be applied in both rudimental (double-stroke) and orchestral (buzz-stroke) style; the 40 Percussive Arts Society International Drum Rudiments (including modern drum corps rudiments); and much more! The Hal Leonard Snare Drum Method has been carefully graded and aligned with several popular band methods, including Essential Elements . There is simply no better way to prepare for playing snare drum in a band or orchestra! The audio is accessed online for download or streaming and including PLAYBACK+, a multi-functional audio player that allows you to slow down audio without changing pitch, set loop points, change key, and pan left or right available exclusively from Hal Leonard. | Hal Leonard Snare Drum Method by Rick Mattingly, Book & Toy | Indigo Chapters
