Realistic Rock For Kids

by Carmine Appice

This excellent book/CD package by Carmine Appice teaches children the basics of playing the drum kit in a kid-friendly fashion. Youngsters are introduced to:

• The Basics - easy note reading, holding the drumsticks, hand/foot coordination exercises and more
• Grooves & Fills - learn to play drum beats and drum fills around the kit
• Drum Solos - this is where the real fun begins. Play your first drum solo!

Realistic Rock For Kids combines a cheerful animated Carmine character with live performance photos of Appice to capture and hold the attention of kids. Included on the two CDs are play-along tracks recorded in a "music-minus-me" format, which means that the solo line is not included, so that you can be the featured artist. Very cool! The package is narrated by Appice, and is appropriate for all age groups, regardless of reading level.
