Imagine putting sticks in your hands and actually playing real grooves – not just exercises, but music you can feel. With this book, you can.
Here’s the problem: Most beginner drum books use tiny notes, complex explanations, and no visual support. That can leave new drummers confused and frustrated. Especially kids.
This book is different.
Each of the 50 grooves is shown in TWO WAYS: with clear, large sheet music notation AND a visual "hand & foot" diagram, so students understand instantly which limb to use – even if they can't read music yet.
It’s simple enough to serve as a drum book for toddlers, while still being fun and effective for older beginners too.
The author is a mom and music educator, who wrote this book together with her son Szymon — a young drumming virtuoso trained at home under her guidance. Their shared passion and teaching experience shaped every page to support real beginners, step by step.
What makes this book stand out?
✔ 50 beginner-friendly grooves in 4/4 and 6/8 time signatures.
✔ Quarter-note and eighth-note rhythms designed to build real skills.
✔ Simple visual notation using hands and feet graphics for every groove.
✔ Big, clear print for easy reading — no squinting needed!

✨ Later pages include blank staves with steady eighth-note hi-hats, so kids can practice writing new bass/snare/tom/crash patterns and even their own drum fills.
✨ At the very end: free space for your own ideas.
