Stephen Hawkins encapsulates the essence of drumming in the first of 12 books from the Time Space and Drums Series titled: DRUMMING: The Art & Science of Time & Space - Gravity Volume 1: Your Rock Drumming Foundation, In which he covers the six essential drum rhythms every drummer will be playing throughout his/her drumming career and by using 1/16th note drum fills to integrate the six rhythms, this six lesson program brings balance and flow to the beginning drummers arsenal of skills.

With a central theme of "working on the SCIENCE of drumming" this first book in the series pathes the way to building a solid rock structure in the future. 

Learning how to read music is an integral part of the book so the student drummer will have the basic fundamentals of drumming from the beginning. And of course, you can download demonstrations by registering here.
