Is your young drummer hungry for more solos and activities outside of the Rock'n'Rollin Level 3 Book?

Have no fear! Introducing...the Rock'n'Rollin' Level 3 ENCORE Book!

The ENCORE Book includes MORE SOLOS and ACTIVITIES to tide your drummer over until they get into Level 4.

Solos in Level 3 ENCORE use the traditional 5-line staff using 4/4, 3/4 and 6/8 time signatures.

Rock'n'Rollin 2 ENCORE can be used in tandem with the Level 3 method book, or as a transition into the Level 4 method book (to be released early 2024).

Need to connect with your kids with their pop music through general music? Involve them in bucket drumming with the hit song from Zedd and Alessia Cara, "Stay"!

There are three all-color coded slides along with the form identifiers listed next to each phrase. Discuss form with the students and teach them (by rote) the rhythms on the powerpoint with the corresponding repeats (most are repeated 4 times). Then, apply it to drums!

All regular notation is to be played on the buckets (or drums, or ground, however you wish), and the X notation (with a down stem) are played as stick clicks above their head (or you could apply it to a tambourine or other auxiliary instrument)

Here's the track so you can play along...

Have fun with this and let us know how it goes!

Introducing our NEW Accelertated Rock'n'Rollin'!

Accelerated Rock'n'Rollin' is designed for the beginning drummer in ages 13 and up, and even adults! The book is a combination of levels 1 and 2 which dives straight into reading music on the simplified staff with the abbreviations on circles (notes and moves students through reading drum music on the staff, learning note values, time signatures, and dynamics. In this book, patterns are called solos.

There are also a hand full of composing activities throughout the book. Remember that students should not be rushed through the book, and it is completely okay to keep students working on a certain section or pattern for a few weeks at a time until they’re comfortable.

To make sure they’re playing with accuracy, start off each pattern around 60bpm. You can adjust the tempo from there as they learn the patterns.

The book flows in the following order:

• Introduce the Instruments on a simplified 3-line staff.

• Moves to a traditional 5-line staff.

• Introduce notes as quarter notes on the staff, and changes cymbals to cross notes.

• Introduce Half Notes and Rests, Whole Notes and Rests, and Dotted half notes.

• Introduce Rudiments and Stickings.

  • From Book 2, “ROCK’N’RUDIMENTS” readies students to learn and play simple stickings in 4/4 and 3/4 times using Quarters, Whole, Halfs, and Eighth notes. These rudiments can be used for fills, and can be revisited later on. 

• Introduces beamed 8th notes (2 sounds in 1 beat.)

• Introduces Forte and Piano dynamics. 

Printing instructions are included on the first page, with a print authorization certificate on page 2. The book is pages 3-102 in the document. Duplication is Prohibited. E-mail us at: zsmusiceducation@gmail.com for more information.

Need to connect with your kids with their pop music through general music? Involve them in bucket drumming with Motown the Musical: "Get Ready / Dancing in the Streets"

There are five all-color coded slides along with the form identifiers listed next to each phrase. Discuss form with the students and teach them (by rote) the rhythms on the powerpoint with the corresponding repeats (most are repeated 3 or 4 times). Then, apply it to drums!

Is your young drummer hungry for more solos and activities outside of the Rock'n'Rollin Level 2 Book?

Have no fear! Introducing...the Rock'n'Rollin' Level 2 ENCORE Book!

The ENCORE Book includes 20 MORE SOLOS and MORE ACTIVITIES to tide your drummer over until they get into Level 3.

Solos in Level 2 ENCORE use the traditional 5-line staff found in Unit 2 of the Level 2 method book and incorporate all the instruments on a drumset.

Rock'n'Rollin 2 ENCORE can be used in tandem with the Level 2 method book, or as a transition into the Level 3 method book.

Be sure to check out our other Rock'n'Rollin method books:

• Rock'n'Rollin' Level 1 (Single User Licence)
• Rock'n'Rollin' Level 1 (Studio/School Licence)
• Rockn'Rollin' Level 2 (Single User Licence)
• Rock'n'Rollin' Level 2 (Studio/School Licence)

A departure from our typical popular music fare, we now offer you a throwback to the 1970s with Kansas' hit tune "Carry on my Wayward Son" for BUCKET DRUMMING!

There are ten (yes ten!) color coded slides along with the form and instrumental identifiers listed next to each phrase. Discuss form with the students (a great way to talk about the variations of the theme with inclusion or exclusions of certain instrument groupings) and teach them (by rote) the rhythms on the powerpoint with the corresponding repeats. Then, apply it to drums!

All regular notation is to be played on the buckets (or drums, or ground, however you wish), and the X notation (with a down stem) are played as stick clicks above their head (or you could apply it to a tambourine or other auxiliary instrument)

This is a long one (5.5minute song) so it may take a little while to get through, but with most of the sections repeating and with some work over time, it'll surely be a hit!

The background track can be found below:
