Slammin' Simon is a HIT!

Both my wife & I are music instructors (altho, not primarily percussion). This book is very well done & fresh! I like the constant reminder for counting - which is important in ALL music aspects & that rhythms are written within a staff. It will be easy for kids to relate to, understand (I like its large print format). I was impressed with how the whole drum kit is visible, with the highlighted instrument displayed in bold. Really impressed with the texture & quality of the cover - it feels like a durable, expensive book in your hand! Excellent illustrations! Delivery EXTREMELY fast!
Just hope I can receive my discount for the kindle edition - my wife both that & I bought the hard copy at different times. Perhaps we should communicate a bit more. : )
Great new resource!

Very Good

I love this book & will be purchasing more soon! The size is just perfect for my 4-7 year old beginners. The cover even feels great! Inside it's broken down & worded exactly as I teach. The printing is big & has a relaxed feel/layout. It may be short, but hits all the key concepts with perfect wording so the price seems fair to me. Have also ordered the other available book in the series.

Slammin' Simon Rocks

Slammin' Simon is a fresh and creative way to teach younger students. The underlying story of Simon and Rudi keep students interested in the lesson. The content is easy to follow and accessible to beginning drummers. Teaching through this book will help any young drummer build a strong foundation that will last throughout their drumming lives. My students and I love using this book!

Good simple little book!!

Great little book. Short and sweet. Between this book and a couple of videos on you tube on how to hold the sticks, I'm able to start jamming to some basic patterns. My 6 yr old loves it. Works for many, many ages

Small, quick, very beginners only. My 6 year old was a good age, but once and done seemed a bit of a waste

Very difficult book!

Very disappointed in this book! For a three year old, I thought it would be a lot easier. I don't understand any of it! Maybe if someone already knows there music and symbols, it might work.
