Review: Modern Day Classic - This book is absolutely fantastic! If you are like me, then you probably have a stack of drum books on your coffee table that rarely get used. Many of these books serve their purpose well enough, it is merely that either the material is overwhelming, overly wordy, or just plain boring. This book is none of those things!! If you have ever attempted to trudge through the New Breed, or another complex systems book, then you understand how frustrating it can be to feel like you are making absolutely no progress. I don't mean to criticize these books, or sound lazy as I have worked many exercises in that book as slow as humanly possible and worked up, but there is often so much material in these books, that they feel overwhelming. For me, the feeling of frustration grows because I know there is so much material yet to get through in these books, and I am struggling mightily with the opening pages. Fear not! Drum Aerobics is here to save you! I absolutely love the concept of the daily exercise routine, and the exercises start off relatively easy. It is laid out for you down to the day, and each exercise is manageable (so far) to master in a day, as they are what I would call "bite sized". I also love the idea that the topics change everyday. Monday is coordination, tuesday grooves, wednesday fills and so on. It keeps me engaged. Prior to this book I was working out of the 4 Way Coordination book. Not only is that book dreadfully boring, I was beginning to get the sneaking feeling that the coordination I was building wasn't always applicable to playing drums. That is not the case with this book. Every exercise is intended to be used directly on a drumset. The best part about the book is that because it is laid out as daily exercises, it keeps me moving at a steady pace. My biggest flaw as a drummer is surely the fact that too often I move on from an exercise before I have truly mastered it. This system prevents that. I work one exercise a day. I work it until I can play it backwards and forwards. Then the next day I do a quick review of the previous lesson and dive into the new lesson of the day. On Sundays, I go back through the week and make sure that I can still play every exercise flawlessly, before moving on to the next week. Certainly there are exercises that take longer than a day to master, but there are also some lessons that come very quickly. I have made it a point not to move on to a new lesson until I have that day's lesson mastered, and it has served me well so far. This book is phenomenal. You will not be disappointed. Also, very much enjoyed the stretching and conditioning section at the beginning. Full of good ideas and good habits for drummers to get into. Review: Bite Sized Drumming! - Let me start off with two caveats... You need to be pretty good at reading music to follow all of the exercises because you can't necessarily count on the recordings to play by ear. I've noticed the recorded parts aren't always exactly what is transcribed in the book. Also, the recording only goes through each measure in the book once so you can't really play along with the exercises. Not a huge deal but could be a problem especially for beginners. Either way this is still a five star book. The exercises range from easy to hard and that can be within any given week. Lots of styles of drumming are covered in addition to exercises to challenge your syncopation, coordination, time feel, etc. It's nice to have little bite sized exercises for practicing that don't require you to plow through long passages or memorize confusing patterns. In each set of seven exercises there is generally a coordination exercise, a timing/groove/syncopation exercise, rudiments, groove style, simple fill and complex fill. As a twenty year veteran on the drums I highly recommend this book as a learning and teaching tool. It will keep your practicing dynamic and lively rather than cramming one exercise down your throat over and over. Some exercises will be mastered in minutes while others will take a bit more time. The design is for most of the exercises to build on each other. I've been slowly going through the exercises for a couple months and I'm at about week 14. The nice thing is the author points out ways to add to the basic exercise so if you decide to work back through or revisit some items it won't be completely redundant. Along with your imagination you can get a lot of mileage out of this book. For maximum value to a beginner I would recommend working out of this book in addition to one of the standards like Syncopation by Ted Reed or Master Studies by Joe Morello. I've been playing along with these books for over twenty years and I feel like I learn something new every time I sit down to practice. This will get you well on your way! The only thing I lack is more time to practice! ## Features - Book/Online Audio - Pages: 120 - Instrumentation: Drum ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #172,486 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #44 in Aerobics (Books) #60 in Percussion Instruments (Books) #1,581 in Music Theory, Composition & Performance (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 82 Reviews | ## Images ![Drum Aerobics | Percussion Instruction Sheet Music for Beginner to Advanced with Online Audio | Daily Practice Program includes 52 Week Technique Workout with Play Along and Skill Building Exercises - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71jqGknjVqL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Modern Day Classic *by M***7 on May 16, 2012* This book is absolutely fantastic!

Whether you are learning a current curriculum and need a companion book to your drum method, or already know how to play, the material here will assist you in getting your body physically conditioned. I have been playing for over twenty years now, and teaching for twelve of that. It is recommended to perform a lot of stretches and warm-ups whenever you practice with a sport, so why should drumming be any different? Andy Ziker progresses us through practical and progressive exercise material, that will help you to keep drumming for many years to come. Starting off with some very useful stretching techniques (which old farts like me need especially), the book also offers you a daily exercise to work on for a whole year. Call it an extended course in practice technique. Unlike other warm-up books that I have used, Drum Aerobics actually offers exercises that you are likely to use, in one form or another. You won't feel like you are working like a hamster in a wheel, and instead have the opportunity of using the techniques in your daily playing and performance. As I said, everyone will benefit from using this material, no matter if you are a beginner or have been playing for a while. Personally, I use this book as companion material with The Teacher And Student Method Drum Set Studies books for my students, so everyone gets a complete workout (literally and figuratively). Buy it, if you want to take your fundamentals to the next level! In summary: * Clean and concise method of getting you into shape. * Pictures and descriptions of daily stretches and warm-ups. * A new workout for every day of the week for a whole year! * Explanations as to why each exercise is important. * All lessons are categorized for clarity. * Included CD demonstrates not just some, but ALL of the practices. * Each exercise progresses to the next in a logical manner. * Vital reading for any drummer that wishes to stay in shape and evolve as a musician! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/2925915-drum-aerobics-percussion-instruction-sheet-music-for-beginner-to-advanced](https://www.desertcart.be/products/2925915-drum-aerobics-percussion-instruction-sheet-music-for-beginner-to-advanced) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-11-13*
