Tapspace Five Minute Drill by Ralph Hicks and Eric Rath

Five Minute Drill, written by Ralph Hicks and Eric Rath, is a fully comprehensive book and CD play-a-long package for your beginner percussionists. This set of warm ups will help your percussionists of any experience level have something to work on while the rest of the band is doing their own set of warm ups. It covers a span of different rudiments, stickings, dynamics, major scales and chromatic scales. The MP3 player compatible track that comes with the Five Minute Drill will allow your percussion students to play along with tracks going at different speeds and rhythms to increase their rhythmic vocabulary while engaging them in fun, short warm-up segments.

There are almost 100 audio tracks with varying tempos that your group will be able to play along with. The custom play-a-long tracks come in three tempo-based styles; disco, samba and DJ FMD. There are also printable data tracking tools so that teachers and students alike can track their progress. How cool is that?
