Learn to Play Drums

This is, essentially, not only a guide just to playing a drum kit, but a guide also to buying and looking after your drum kit, and playing with other people. That might not sound like a lot, but there will be a lot of material to cover. It will be assumed that you, the reader, have no musical knowledge, to make this book as easy to understand as possible to total beginners.
