And mastering it will be more impressive than learning calculus. Be prepared for encores. It's easy. No matter whether you're performing jazz, rock or musical theater, there will always be someone at the end of a gig who shouts, "Free Bird." What's the difference between an amateur drummer and a professional drummer? An amateur drummer plays gigs on weekends and has a day job. A professional drummer plays gigs on weekends and has a wife who has a day job. This gift is sure to bring a smile to the face of the drummer in your life. The Best Gift Book for Drummers is based on author David Aron's twenty-five years of playing drum sets with rock bands, jazz ensembles and musical theater productions.
