Double Basics: Complete Double Bass Drum

Double Basics is a book intended for beginner to intermediate drummers that want to master the art of double bass drumming. At the beginning of the book, there are daily double bass strengthening workouts, as well as double bass fill ideas. There are photos for technique and posture as well. Two additional pages of hand patterns are included so that students who have completed the book can go back through playing the new hand patterns to the written bass drum patterns. The exercises in this book are measure-long exercises, presented in two-bar repeating phrases. This presentation allows the student to see how the end of the pattern relates back to the beginning.
