Progress through the book happens incrementally and logically. Over the course of 12 lessons technique necessary to play a real world song is acquired naturally and with minimal effort. The capstone of the curriculum is an accurate drum transcription of the song Free Fallin' by Tom Petty (including easy chords for guitar and/or piano).
