My “How to Build a Drum Groove“ 4 book drum method series is now available at Hudson Music
Here’s a review from drumming legend Gene Hoglan - Rick Stojak's "How to Build a Drum Groove" is an excellent foray into keeping teaching simple and fun! I was not a music reader before I started this book, but boy, it sure is turning me into one. And the
extensive Song Index is genius! All of these great songs that we all
already know, listed in such a way that upon first glimpse, you're already a leg up in learning. How cool is that? By the time you're done with this book, you will be
well on your way to mastering the basics of rock drumming, which is
what we all love to do! I highly recommend "How to Build a Drum
Groove" to drummers of all ages!
Now available!
