And more… No matter what your level of drumming, you'll find some grooves to get your teeth into, and for absolute beginners, there's a handy guide to help you get up and running. The tracks are graded for difficulty too, and we reckon that if you start with easier to learn tracks like 'Back In Black' and work your way through the bookazine, it could bring your playing along nicely.
