Alfred’s Drum Method is the ideal teaching tools to help prepare beginning players for all styles of snare drum and percussion performance. Book 2 is much more than just a snare drum method! This follow-up book to the best-selling first volume continues the learning process by covering additional rudimental studies, tonal properties of the snare drum, theme and variations, musical forms, solos and duets. Additionally, Book 2 covers traditional rudimental style, corps style (by Jay Wanamaker), orchestral style, accessory instruments, and multiple-percussion techniques.
