Edition: Paperback Book & CD Package, Drums

Designed to demystify the drummer's creative process, this workbook-style guide shows how five simple, foundational rhythms can be used to create hundreds of variations. These universal rhythms are what we use to speak many different rhythmic languages, and they help demonstrate how all styles of music are related.

As you work through the lessons in this book, you'll develop a stronger pulse and a deeper pocket; gain better technical and creative flow; and attain a higher level of musicality in grooves, fills, embellishments, and solos. There are over 500 exercises in this book, covering 28 styles of drumming, and ALL are performed by Dave DiCenso on the included MP3 CD.
