Guided warmups, with play-along videos on Mad Beatz Methods’ YouTube channel, build SOLID technique at a variety of tempos. Essential concepts, rhythms and rudiments are broken down in step-by-step “Learning Loops”, developing the learner’s ability to analyze and self-correct.
Ok, what SKILLS are covered? Legatos, 16th note and triplet "check patterns", multi-beats, stroke types: up-, down-, prep-, buzz-, full- and tap-strokes, triplet accent patterns, 16th note accent patterns, paradiddle rudiments, triplet rolls, 16th note rolls, metric modulations, 32nd note stick control patterns, flams.....and how to analyze a phrase to find your own CHECKS.
Here’s why our book ROCKS: Students can play every line in the entire book along with Mad Beatz Methods’ #practiceplaylists - or their own favorite songs - building listening skills and passion for practice! It’s a great resource for grades 7 & up.
