Hi folks,
I know this will come off as self-congratulatory, but I wanted to share how thrilled I am.
My book is on Amazon here: http://amzn.eu/4EI9JLv
And I just saw this review:
I wouldn't usually post this sort of thing, but for those that don't know, I am totally self-contained as an artist. I run my own record label for my own musical releases, and I run my own publishing company, which I started for this book. I wrote it, edited and formatted it, produced the front and back artwork, notated it, and published it entirely myself, and I am so thrilled that people all over the world are not only enjoying it, but improving their drumming because of it.
Thanks for all the support along the way on this forum, too.
What really blows my mind is that I was able to do this entirely on my own. I am a nobody in terms of fame or worldwide success, just a drummer from Nottingham. It just goes to show that hard work and taking a few risks can really pay off in this industry.
Much love guys.
Jonathan

Currently an MBA student in the US with about 2 years of self-taught drumming experience. Having discovered Jonathon through youtube and found his lessons extremely helpful, I went ahead and made this purchase. Something refreshing about this book (with my business mindset) is that Jonathon outlines off the bat where we are going (the aim of the book) and how we are to approach each lesson.
I am currently working through this book and it has been a major aid in helping to order and structure my playing without monotonous drills. This book is refreshing, humorous(at the right times), and provides a substantial philosophy (a why to what we do), which as with all forms of art is vital. I highly recommend this book for all skill levels. You will need a very basic grasp of rhythmic notation.
