Teach Yourself Drums

Becoming a drummer requires a tremendous amount of technique, coordination, practice and feel. Teach Yourself Drums by Seth Goldberg brings a new approach to learning these skills by applying them directly to the drum set. Unlike conventional teaching methods, Seth will have you seated at the drum set from the very beginning. While building coordination and developing technique, you will begin to grasp the 'feel' that only practice can provide.
