The collaboration of buddy Rich with his instructor and friend Rich Adler created a book with all the fundamental material needed for an instructive drum method. In addition to the elementary principles of music there are 83 lessons of exercises and rudiments, twenty-one read in exercises, ten exercises employing rudiments, forty-six advanced rhythmic studies and a list   of the most frequently used musical terms. All of the material has been carefully graded as to difficulty. Buddy Rich's Modern Interpretation of Snare Drum Rudiments not only differs from all other drum books, in that it contains a systematic course for the beginner, but it is also of great value  ti the teacher and professional who wishes to increase his knowledge of the rudiments.
