Hardly any other instrument has developed as rapidly in recent years as electronic drums. This is also due to the unbeatable advantages that e-drums offer the modern drummer: enormous sound variety, a built-in metronome and often also recording functions and exercise aids. In addition, they have another advantage over a "normal" drum set: You can practice quietly with the headphones without disturbing the neighbours and the search for a suitable rehearsal room is completely unnecessary!
In this book you will learn everything you need to know to become a perfect e-drummer. Starting with the construction of your e-drum set, the correct sitting and stick posture and the first standard rhythms on the snare drum, you quickly reach your first groove and the first complete play-along. Practical tips and many exercises and rhythms guarantee rapid progress. Step by step you learn the drum notation so that you can later play rhythms off the sheet or write down your own ideas - an invaluable skill for musicians
.
Important terms such as latency, velocity, MIDI, multi-zone pad or DAW are explained in detail in small e-drum workshops.
The great book for e-drums: no question remains!
