Percussion - Snare Drum, Bass Drum, Suspended Cymbal, Ride Cymbal, Hi-hat, Tom-toms, Tambourine and Triangle.
Piano Accompaniment - This includes all four essential parts in piano format to accompany, or rehearse, the performers.
In addition to the pieces there are basic exercises, musical terms and symbol which can be found at the back of each book. These are also included in the score (starting at page 104).
It is hoped that First things first will provide a useful resource that will become a stepping stone in the musical development of many musicians.
