The purpose of this book is to take rhythmic figures, originally learned on the snare drum, and apply them to the drumset. In doing this, the student is introduced to several cross sticking and drum-to-drum patterns using eighth, triplet and sixteenth notes. This approach to the drumset is an excellent way to develop the coordination and speed of getting around the drums with ease, while also helping with soloing.

Offers advice for adding fills in various styles of music and includes exercises and counting tips to improve stick control and precision.

A comprehensive method for developing technique, contemporary styles and rhythmical concepts. This is the first book that deals with the necessary drum techniques and practices for today's music. With this 93-page book and 90-minute recording comes an eight-page pull-out chart of additional exercises. An outstanding value!

A professional rhythm workbook researched from commercially released records as played by today's top studio drummers. The styles covered include commercial funk rhythms, reggae (authentic and funk), unusual time signatures, funk sambas, southern funk beats, and fusion funk.
