Studying the genius of Living Legend, John S. Pratt's music is a unique opportunity to learn from THE MASTER, whose accolades and accomplishments have spanned a life-long career approaching 9 decades!!! Illustrious Pratt has been honored by multiple prestigious Halls of Fame including Percussive Arts Society, World Drum Corps amongst others and has published many more solo books for accomplished drummers, all of which I highly recommend! John S. Pratt's musical compositions are unique and have set a high standard, offering technically challenging, creative and interesting solos, which are required for competition! Pratt's world renowned pieces are FUN to play with detailed notation which have improved my chops!
