Abstract: A device for teaching and/or practicing the art of drumming comprises an array of tiles disposed within a frame. The tiles bear in each case indicia to indicate a type of percussive stroke, the component or components of a set of trap drums with which said strokes are to be made, and if desired, an indication of how many of such strokes are to be made in sequence. The tiles may be arranged in any desired order by the student or instructor so as to provide a record readily readable by the drummer, for practice in achieving a variety of musical or percussive effects.
