"This is so refreshing! Mark's approach is clear, well organized and fills a need for developing a strong foundation for snare drum. The CD is an excellent guide with all the material... a very logical and helpful system! I will use this with my drum set students! Thanks Mark!"

"This is an exceptional book for the beginning percussionist that is both thorough and fun! Not only are the students exposed to the nuts and bolts of being a well rounded percussionist, but they are challenged to be musicians as well! This book is a must for every student, instructor and band director on the planet. Indeed, Mark has truly succeeded in giving us all a "fresh approach!"

"Mark has written a great snare drum book with enough material to keep students at all levels interested and challenged. The CD is a terrific way for aspiring drumset players to practice their reading while hearing some fun grooves!
        – Tommy Igoe, Studio Artist, Assistant Conductor and Drumset Performer on Broadway’s "The Lion King"

"Mark's book is very well organized, beginning with basics and developing the beginning drummer into a strong intermediate player. The play–along CD is so much fun that students will have a hard time putting the book away! The accompaniments introduce the young player to styles of music and drumming such as Indonesian, Turkish and African as well as popular American music like Hip-hop, Rock and Roll, and Rap. I highly recommend Mark's book and CD play–along for beginning and intermediate drummers. I use it with my young students AND my own son!"

"Man, this is awesome! I just played through 10 lessons and forgot to eat dinner!"
