"Dennis introduces us to the more sophisticated drumming concepts and techniques, such as, Universal Patterns - Stick Drumming - Rhythm Phrases - Double Strokes - Heel/Toe & Flam Taps. These advanced elements had only been accessible to us old time drummers through years of study and playing. I am happy and slightly amazed that he has been able to incorporate these advanced drumming elements in a practice workbook in such a way that even a beginning drummer can successfully absorb and utilize them in their on going and never ending hand drumming journey" Arthur Hull Village Music Circles (™)
