For more instruction For additional instruction in greater depth than our book, consider Matt Patella's "Reading Text in 4/4".

Available on Amazon, $19.95 |
For more practice If you feel like you really do understand the placement and timing of notes laid out in our book, then an excellent book with more exercises, starting from very fundamental and working through very complex, is Matt Patella's "Study & Practice Guide, Percussion in 4/4" Available on Amazon, $11.95 |
Want something completely new? Got 4/4 under control? Try Matt Patella's "Reading Text in 6/8" This book is also supported by videos where Matt teaches you 6/8. Available on Amazon, $19.95 |
And look for our upcoming book of ostinatos (repeating patterns) for the drumset. This is a fun book, the ostinatos will give you the basis for songs, and learning them will help you develop "4-limb independence". |
