Review: Teacher recommended - Bought for my 4th grader in elementary school and he’s still using it 3 years later in middle school. He has been enjoying playing the drums.
Review: Classic book for beginners - We bought this book for for a 10 year old boy just starting to learn to play percussion. This was also recommended by most of his teachers and is really beneficial for starters. Has basic sheet music to intermediate level and the kid can move up to the blue book once done with this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Teacher recommended
*by S***O on February 17, 2026*

Bought for my 4th grader in elementary school and he’s still using it 3 years later in middle school. He has been enjoying playing the drums.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Classic book for beginners
*by L***I on July 22, 2023*

We bought this book for for a 10 year old boy just starting to learn to play percussion. This was also recommended by most of his teachers and is really beneficial for starters. Has basic sheet music to intermediate level and the kid can move up to the blue book once done with this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It is Book 1
*by S***R on September 26, 2024*

At the time of writing this review, this product title reads Book 1 Standard of Excellence Comprehensive Band Method; but the first image is misleading because the image shows a blue book (which is Book 2). I trusted the Amazon title not the image. I ordered, and it is indeed the red book 1.
