Portraits in Rhythm is a drum book by Anthony Cirone designed to help drummers of all levels improve their skills. He decided to take on just one student—as long as that student showed an intense passion for the drums and an equally unstoppable work ethic. Its incomparable strength arises from being co-written by Jared’s protégé, a student who has tested these practices and ultimately used them to develop into a successful drummer and teacher himself. I felt super silly "singing" the rhythm at first, but vocalizing the rhythm while the rest of my limbs play has really helped with my coordination. Soon Jared was working alongside legendary drummers to create the most frequently-viewed drum lessons in the world.Later in your drum career as you move past this beginner book, you may find yourself coming back to it, and incorporating stronger concepts. All these exercises can also be practiced on a drum practice pad, which is great for aspiring drummers who have yet to purchase their own snare drum or drum set. This is not a method book at all, but it is mentioned so often on the internet as the only snare drum book people use, I should talk about it on the same terms as these other books— how it functions as a beginning snare drum book.
