Written by Luke Coiro, a drummer of the local Sydney club & pub scene with over 20 years of live playing experience in various high profile cover, concept bands as well as various original bands. Luke is currently performing in Led Zeppelin tribute band 'Zeppelin Live' as well as some shows with 'Cool Change' - The Little River Band Tribute. Luke also does live and studio sessions and provides private drum tuition to students in the Sydney area.

"I found that there were not many drum tuition books available that covered a wide range of drumming topics, especially in the world of rock drumming. Many other books tended to cover only a limited amount of drumming topics and to learn more, you would have to purchase another separate book. The discs or tapes that also came with these books were also very limited in content. I then finally decided to write my own single, condensed book that covered a wide range of topics, from getting started, tips on obtaining your first drum kit, stick selection, etc and includes many various rhythms, patterns and exercises that take you from absolute beginner to an intermediate level of rock drumming and beyond. I also wanted to include audio cds that contained not just a few, but most of the rhythms and patterns contained in the book, recorded on a real drum kit (instead of a programmed drum machine). It's helped my students a great deal and I hope it helps others out there who want to enter or progress in the world of rock drumming." - Luke Coiro
