Anonymous Great ideas! Disappointed that Gary "requires" that we use the "exact" setup that he uses which involves three hihats and a floor tom on the left as well as the right. Obviously, not everyone uses that setup, but he doesn't seem to make room for variability. I do understand his suggestions for ambidexterity and leading with the left, but the implication that we should never cross over to hit a drum seems a little ridiculous. Just some slight pedagogical editing would have made this a more robust and user-friendly educational tool.

Anonymous This is a legendary book for a reason and I highly recommend it to all drummers looking to develop their skills. It's a challenging book, but one worth having!
