This is one of the finest and to the point beginner drum-set books.  It gently gains the attention of the novice drummer and sets him, her on the path to competence and proficiency as a drummer. The book goes through beginning stages of groove formation, fills, parts of the drum kit and if that was not enough, there is a play along CD.  From West London Drum Tutor, Drum Lessons in Harrow, London http://paltip.com/westlondonenglish/!526d
