En trumskola för iPad!
myDrumbook is a digital drum method for iPad and OSX, available at the Apple iBooks Store. It’s the new fun and easy way to learn how to play the drums. 
The possibilities with an e-book are unlimited and myDrumbook is much more interactive than a traditional printed book, says Mats Werner who developed myDrumbook and has many years of experience in teaching drums and writing educational material. Clear pictures, mp3 files in different beats, fills, grooves and video clips guide you through the lessons. Download myDrumbook at iBooks Store and start playing the drums today!
En unik produkt har efter ett års utveckling äntligen lanserats av mitt företag, Beatnote Company. Det är en trumskola för iBooks som nu är online i hela världen. Boken heter myDrumbook och finns på iBooks Store.

About Mats Werner
Mats Werner has worked as a teacher, musician and entrepeneur for many years.
He published his first textbook in 1994 and since then has published 7 books, among others, for percussion and drum sets.
 
There is a move towards digital studies and in the past year, I have been developing a method for iPad on Apple iBooks Store which will be available internationally. This is an exciting new area and since September, 2012 one book has been available on the iBooks Store as a test project. The book is free and in English, called the Drummer and is about the marching drum. The book was created to see how collaboration with Apple works. During this time I was developing the ”real” book which is a drum method in English without notation but interactive with texts, pictures, animations, sounds and videos. myDrumbook has now been available at the iBooks Store since May 2013.
 
I collaborate with several people and companies to make the product as professional as possible. My collaboration partners are:
Finchi Production – video recordings
Crafton Musik AB – music equipment in video
Smart Design – layout and web devolepment
Rebecka Assio – photo
Olivia Nilsson – drummer
Ed Kahrs – voice-over
Marta Brobjer – copy editor
Peter Svensson – sound files
