Modern Drummer founder Ron Spagnardi wrote an excellent book called Understanding the Language of Music, a Drummer’s Guide to Theory and Harmony. This book spells out the basics of theory and harmony in a very organized and easy to understand way. It is an excellent book for drummers looking to learn about the language of music beyond drumming, and further their musicianship. This month we will continue to reprint the second part of Ron’s book on Accidentals and Intervals for everyone to read and learn.
