Tunesday Das Drumset - Ringbuch

To provide drum students with comprehensive knowledge of their instrument, Sven Helbig has developed a drum method that covers all the expertise needed to master the instrument successfully. The ‘Tunesday Records & Publishing: The Drum Kit’ textbook is suitable for both lessons with a teacher and self-study, and fills any gaps in basic knowledge right from the start. As well as instrumental tuition, it also contains tips on buying a drum kit, correct drumhead tension, tuning the heads, the correct grip on the sticks, footwork, initial sight-reading exercises and basic grooves, so that beginners can be brought up to the playing standard of advanced drummers. It is important to work through the book strictly in chronological order, as the chapters build on one another.

Cleverly designed from a teaching perspective, this method offers the perfect balance between theory, practice and the joy of playing, ensuring varied and engaging lessons. The downloadable MP3s include groove-alongs to play along with, allowing you to put what you’ve learnt into practice straight away in a playful and highly enjoyable way. Once you’ve worked through the book, you’ll even be well prepared for your first gigs with a band.

Sven Helbig studied drums at the Conservatoire in Enschede, plays in numerous bands and works as a drum teacher himself. As he felt that fundamental content was missing from all existing textbooks, he devised this tried-and-tested course.
