    Rudiments; hours, days, and months of practice; and playing many different styles of music.

    Rudiments are the foundation upon which chops are built.

    Practice: do I really need elaborate?

    Different styles of music will expose you to different techniques and dynamics in your playing, and will give you a much deeper well of knowledge from which you may drink. (Please pardon the metaphor )

    I own it, and it's a great book. However, don't cheat yourself when practicing from the book. They have instructions on how many times you play it and I suggest you follow that. Also play with a metronome at a variety of tempos on each exercise.
