This book has been conceived and written with the following goal in mind: to develop a "musical" snare drummer in the classical and traditional sense of the word. My years of performing and teaching have repeatedly made clear the problems and solutions of the snare drummer as a percussion artist. As well as control and fast articulate hands, the snare drummer must develop a sense of rhythmic phrasing, interpretation, and concept of sound. He must understand tone production and sound projection as related to sticking and technical execution. He must not treat the instrument as a noisy rhythm maker, but as a musical instrument capable of countless musical subtleties. I present this book as the first step toward the development of this caliber of player.
