The August '07 issue of MODERN DRUMMER, the "World's #1 Drum Magazine", agreed with Rick's approach to learning drums, big-time:
Slow it Down, Break it Down "...provides different ways to practice one set of studies, as opposed to the "old-school" method of playing one pattern fifty times."
MD's "Reference Shelf" reviewer says the book keeps students "motivated" and "interested". Teachers, take note!
You can "preview" pages from the book before ordering, right online.

Combo Book 2:
Changing
Heads and Tuning Your Drums, &
Choosing
Hard Cases vs. Soft Bags
($12.95, plus S&H)
First, like all musical instruments,
percussion instruments must be maintained, sometimes replaced, and
above all, tuned properly. Get in-depth "tricks of the trade"
from a real pro.
Then, in the very important area
of Drum Set Protection...You're making a real investment in musical
equipment here. Should you spring for hard cases? Or can you get
away with soft, padded bags like you see some guitar players use?
And, is there anything new on the scene that might give you another
choice? Rick explains how, why, and what to consider when deciding,
and helps you feel confident with protecting your new drum set,
including cymbals, sticks and hardware.
