Dave Odart Drums

                Book Now Available!

 

The Rock And Pop Rhythm Workouts are a carefully selected series of my rhythm and fill exercises aimed at developing both the beginner and intermediate student’s reading, timing, technique, feel and stylistic awareness. The exercises are accompanied by 8 original songs in different styles that can be used for practising which range in tempo from 70bpm to 140bpm.

Once you have mastered all the exercises in the book you can download additional study material from this site to further develop your playing and use the comments box to ask any questions or discuss your requirements so that I can tailor future exercises to meet your needs.

The book can be ordered through your local music shop or clicking here. Thanks for taking the time to visit my site….keep drumming!
