This book constitutes a no-nonsense approach to mastery of the modern drumset. It is written in standard drumset notation for the intermediate to advanced player who wants to emulate today's top drummers. Drumset for the 21st Century includes seven sections. The first six sections detail modem rhythms and patterns: rudimental studies and applications, linear and layered patterns, ostinatos, Latin-style patterns, double bass, and odd time signatures. Each is followed by a drum solo incorporating the patterns studied in the section. Section 7 consists of play along charts to be used with the recording included with the book to give you the opportunity to play many of the new patterns in a simulated studio situation. Includes access to online audio.
