About the Book
This is an open source snare drum book written in plain text and built using free software. The book is meant as a first step towards developing rhythmic phrasing, interpretation, and reading proficiency, and provides a collection of progressive studies written programmatically for the beginner percussionist, allowing new studies to be generated on the fly using a small subset of note durations. This is not a method book, so it won't teach you how to play, count or hold your sticks. Instead, you should use the book along with other materials and preferably under the guidance of an instructor. I welcome contributions.
