Biographies and photos come along with each and every stage of the work, from the very beginning of the artistic career till today. This idea wassome years ago, when, while writing down a drum score, I realized that this could be a very difficult task, especially for those who are not proficient enough, musically. Drums groove is often muffled by other sounds- nevertheless, if we listen to ths as isolated from other instruments, everything gets clearer. If you don't mind my giving you a piece of advice, listen to the Grooves and perform those you like most, but, while playing, always try to be true to yourselves. / Pédagogie / Etude / Batterie et Percussions

'Another Town ' nous place dès la première mesure, dans un univers tribal. Jonathan Haessler, en construisant des polyrythmies de plus en plus complexes demande à l'exécutant une indépendance totale des mains et des pieds. Un accent particulier est mis sur le 'voicing' (faire ressortir une voix par rapport à une autre).L'utilisation de baguettes de timbales (recouverte de feutrine) donnent aux sonorités des peaux une touche originale où la douceur et la sensualité contraste avec ces accents énormes à la sonorité plus rude.Cette pièce, très technique et de haut niveau peut également être jouée à deux exécutants. Pédagogiquement, cela permet deux lectures différentes de la pièce.Jonathan Haessler est né en 1985 à Colmar. Dès l'âge de sept ans, il travaille les différentes techniques de la batterie avec Benoît Moerlen, puis rejoint l'Ecole Nationale de Musique de Colmar en 1998, dans la classe de Norbert Jensen. Depuis 2001, il étudie les percussions classiques avec Emmanuel Séjourné, Denis Riedinger et Stéphan Fougeroux au Conservatoire National de Région de Strasbourg. C'est l'occasion pour lui d'affiner la recherche de la musicalité de ces instruments. Il obtient le premier prix de percussions et de musique de chambre en 2006. / Percussions Ou Ensemble De Percussions Solo

Par ADAMO MIKE. The most in-depth study of breakbeat drumming in print! The style is divided into thirteen essential elements, with each element discussed in its own chapter. Hundreds of exercises and beats give the reader ample opportunity to practice the elements, which, when assembled, will give the drummer the ability to integrate a complete language of incredibly funky concepts into his or her playing. Over 90 transcriptions of beats and breaks provide the reader with a window into hip-hop/breakbeat drumming. Included are some of the most sampled beats in music history – including information about the original song and later songs that used the sample. Also included is a historical overview of hip-hop and breakbeat drumming, as well as biographies of many of the “architects” that helped design the culture. The “Click Track Loops” chapter provides an incredibly challenging system for practicing the breakbeat/hip-hop elements and other grooves against various patterns programmed into a drum machine. These will help the reader attain new levels of tightness, precision, and groove in their drumming. The CD features MP3 files with examples of select exercises, beats, and eight-bar phrases from the book. It also contains five play-along instrumental tracks (with and without drums). There is also a bonus sample library featuring 30 individual drum/cymbal sounds. Bonus Sections include Beats With Drops, Fills, and Dubstep./ Etude / Batterie
