Book two is designed to further develop the skills learnt in book one and challenge your musicality, technique and intellect. There are more detailed explanations of styles and genres and a greater expectation to self analyse and critic your own playing.

We encourage students to learn the rhythms in the snare drum section first, before embarking on the drum kit, timpani and tuned sections of the book. The rhythms and techniques in book two are aimed at the intermediate musician and finishing book two should leave you ready to attempt grade 3-4.
