Accelerated Rock'n'Rollin' - Beginner Drumset Method: Studio License

By ZS Music Publishing

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 ALLOWED with this product. E-mail us at: zsmusiceducation@gmail.com for more information.
