Summary
Knack Drums for Everyone is a self-instruction book for beginners to intermediates, fully illustrated with 350 full-color photographs and more than fifty exercises in musical notation. Written by legendary rock drummer Carmine Appice, it covers everything one needs to know about the drum set itself--the parts, different kinds of drums, and how to care for drums--and then provides the basics of reading drum music and playing.
