Are you or your drumline in desparate need of a great fundamental program?The exercises included in this project are specifically designed to provide the beginning to intermediate drumline with a solid foundation for building individual and ensemble technique.
We've assembled an "all-star" battery percussion section to not only demonstrate each of the exercises at 5 different tempos, but present them with video and audio tracks so that you and your percussion section can play along to help establish great tempo control and match the sound of a high quality ensemble. To make it even more fun to practice, we have added backing tracks to each of the exercises in the Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond levels so that you can test your current abilities and continue to aspire to improve!
