Each dedicated to a different
difficulty level, this set of
three books contain snare drum
etudes written for each of the
40 rudiments. As a prelude to
each etude, there are warm-ups
dedicated to the development
and mastering of the rudiment
it precedes. The overall idea
is to have both a technical
(the warm-ups) and a musical
(the etudes) approach to each
of the rudiments. The end
result should not only be a
mastering of each rudiment,
but an applied musicality most
often ignored when playing or
practicing the rudiments for
rudiment's sake.
