Country Drumming introduces the reader to the important beats, fills, techniques and knowledge necessary to perform in the Country idiom.
All information is introduced in a progressive format. Country Drumming also features 9 solos in various Country sub-styles. These solos incorporate the various beats, fills and techniques covered within the book. Some basic musical knowledge is assumed, (see Progressive Drum Method by Craig Lauritsen).
Country music has been influenced by other musical styles, particularly Blues, Rock, Funk, New Orleans and Cajun music. For more beats, fills and techniques in the previously mentioned styles see Progressive Blues Drumming by Craig Lauritsen or Progressive Drum Grooves also by Craig Lauritsen.
