Drumming Books & DVDs - Discount Packages

I hope you're enjoying the tips ans lessons on this site. This page presents some great books and DVDs to take you to the next level of drumming.

I've created this page after discovering an online music store called Music44. It sells music related books, DVDs, etc. at very good prices. But what makes this store even more exciting, aside from a large drum learning inventory, is that it allowed me to compile packages of multiple items and let others purchase them at a discount. The bottom line is that buying one of those packages costs less than buying each item individually.

Music44's package deals were the best I've seen on the Net (or anywhere), so I therefore decided to invest a few hours locked in a dark room in front of my computer screen researching and compiling some high quality drum lesson packages. I also tried to come up with a good variety without offering an overwhelming amount of choices.

As I said before, buying the items in a package makes things cheaper, but even if you'd like to get just one book, or one DVD, looking at the packages will be beneficial. This is because I only included items that are highly regarded by an overwhelming majority of people, therefore you'll have a guideline by which to make your own choice.

This page includes only overviews of each of the packages. Use the respective package links to learn more about the individual package items and to get price quotes at Music44.

Beginner Drum Lessons: Basic Collection

The Beginner Drum Lessons: Basic Collection gives you everything you need to get off to a good start and learn fast. There aren't too many good books for the utter drum set beginner, but when I first wanted to learn, I decided to trust the For Dummies brand, and sure enough Drums for Dummies did not disappoint. I therefore included it as the only book in this package. But, since visual lessons are crucial to a good understanding of the drum set, the two DVDs make great companions to the book.
