TD's Drum Book is designed for anyone who's curious to explore the art of making solo music on the drum set. Whether approaching the art form for the first time or looking to gain fresh perspectives on an already-established practice. The intent in presenting these concepts is to inspire the artist to develop a wide range of tools they can call upon during a solo performance, encouraging new avenues of sound exploration by offering a diverse set of ideas and approaches to the kit.

From the introduction
"The drum set exercises in this book are designed to be applied into the context of solo improvisation on the drum set and are geared toward folks with at least some experience with the concept. However, even if you are entirely new to the art form, I hope these concepts encourage new perspectives on whatever sound-making format you are currently involved with. Perhaps these ideas can also be a catalyst that sparks interest in forging a relationship with improvisation? It is important to add that, although the solo format is the vehicle in which the ideas in this work were built, I do not intend any of them to be exclusive to this configuration. If you can find ways to apply any of the information herein in a collaborative context of any size, or if any of these ideas inspire a through-composed work on the drum set (or even another instrument), I would be delighted."
