Drumset Methods

as submitted by friends

These are drumset method books that were recommended by friends of Semimental Music. Difficulty levels are not indicated for a few reasons, but mainly because it's time consuming and I don't have much of that right now. If you look them up you can figure levels out for yourself. I did not include "Stick Control" or other snare methods and solos that can be used. I also didn't include websites. In some cases names have been abbreviated. Nine people have responded so far with specific books. I really appreciate those of you who did. You are truly excellent people. If any more come in I will make an attempt to update this list.
