Drum Play Along

Drum play along books are pretty cool. There are two basic types of books available–genre-based and artists.

The genre-based play along books feature 8 to 10 songs in a particular style of music like jazz, rock, or punk.

Artist play alongs feature 8 to 10 songs from a particular band such as Nirvana, Led Zeppelin, and Rush.

Regardless of which type you get, the material is basically the same. In most cases, you’ll get fully transcribed drum notation for each song in the book. There is also a cd that includes full demo tracks and tracks with the drums removed.

> Often, the company will include software that you can use to loop particular sections of drum beats and slow them down to hear exactly how something is played.
