Review: A classic for a reason - EVERY drummer needs to own a copy - I have owned a copy of this book for over 20 years (had to replace a few times from wearing it out) and I still keep coming back! Some would argue this is the only book you need, I would say this paired with The Complete Drummers Vocabulary will give you a lifetime of material to work on. My goal as a drum set instructor is to get my students working in this book as soon as possible. I use a matrix-styled approach to introduce enough coordination to start with the systems and it is not intended for a beginner. There are TONS of ways to interpret the exercises and create new and challenging ways to go through this book; if you are reading this - go ahead and pull the trigger on this classic drum book.
Review: A must have - This is a must for any serious drummer.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A classic for a reason - EVERY drummer needs to own a copy
*by J***S on December 10, 2025*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must have
*by A***R on December 19, 2025*

This is a must for any serious drummer.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Take Your Drumming to a New Level
*by S***T on February 28, 2011*

I'd call myself an intermediate player now and it's because of books like this one with its creative exercises. I've just started, 'm doing about 3 exercises per day and I've already seen improvement in my coordination. The exercises are challenging enough but do-able. (I was calling myself a beginner before I picked up this book, but I'm getting it, I'm easily following the exercises, they're simple enough to grasp, so I'd say I've graduated from beginner to intermediate.) As for the CD that comes with the book, it's a plus. I'm learning a lot hearing a top drummer speak of his new "system" of drumming. All in all, it's a great purchase, the price is pretty good to have someone like Gary Chester teaching me how to get really comfotable playing my drum kit. BTW I got this book because my drum teacher recommended it. He says he uses it with his advance students, so it's drum-teacher-approved. I also recommend Drum Set Warm-Ups: Essential Exercises for Improving Technique (Berklee Guide) for improving technique.
