With each volume dedicated to a different difficulty level, the Principal Percussion Series Easy Level – Rudimental Etudes and Warm-Ups Covering All 40 Rudiments is part of a set of three books containing snare drum etudes written for each of the 40 rudiments. As a prelude to each etude, there are warm-ups dedicated to the development and mastering of the rudiment it precedes. The overall idea is to have both a technical (the warm-ups) and a musical (the etudes) approach to each of the rudiments. The end result should not only be a mastering of each rudiment, but an applied musicality most often ignored when playing or practicing the rudiments for rudiment’s sake.

In 1942, Buddy Rich collaborated with Henry Adler, publishing Buddy Rich’s Modern Interpretation of Snare Drum Rudiments. It is known today as « the drummer’s bible. » In 2005, Ted MacKenzie revised the classic snare drum book and, with Henry Adler’s blessing, revealed the method behind the book. In this book, Ted takes Buddy’s rudiments from the original book and carefully applies them to the drum set. There is no favoring of the downbeat in any of the rudiments, allowing the student to gain confidence and control while developing a natural vocabulary around the kit. Combined with MacKenzie’s The Ultimate Drummer’s Workout DVD, this comprehensive program is the fastest, most efficient study ever put together for gaining proficiency and fluidity around the kit.
