Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need to read music for this?
Yes. The material is presented as drum notation, so you should be comfortable reading rhythms on a standard staff before starting.
02Can I use this on a practice pad?
Only partly. The patterns split between limbs and kit voices, so you need a kit or electronic set to hear them properly.
03Does it come with audio?
This is the book edition. Plan on working from the printed page rather than following along with recorded examples.
04Is it for congas or drumset?
Drumset. The rhythms come from Afro-Cuban hand percussion but are arranged here for a standard kit.
