Fangen Sie gerade an Schlagzeug zu spielen? Dann ist das Lehrbuch hier genau das Richtige für Sie! Damit werden Sie Spaß am Musikunterricht haben und schnell erste Grooves und Breaks spielen lernen. Bei diesen ersten Grooves geht es darum einfache Formeln rhythmisch im Takt über vollständigen Playalongs ausführen zu lernen. Sie werden das Gefühl haben in einer Band mitzuspielen ein regelrechter Schlagzeuger zu sein obwohl Sie erst am Anfang stehen. Am Anfang zu stehen bedeutet jedoch nicht auf der Stelle zu treten. Deswegen werden die Grooves und Breaks im Laufe des Buches zunehmend abwechslungsreicher und schwieriger. Siewerden sich erst mit Viertelnoten dann mit Achtelnoten mit Achteltriolen und schließlich mit Sechzehntelnoten auseinandersetzen. Arbeiten Sie eine Seite nach der anderen durch und Sie werden die Fortschritte auf Ihrem Schlagzeug spielend erzielen! Für jedes der 40 dargebotenen Stücke stehen Ihnen auf der beiliegenden MP3-CD fünf verschiedene Aufnahmen zur Verfügung die folgendermaßen angeordnet sind: das Schlagzeug ohne Begleitung erst bei normalem dann bei verlangsamtem Tempo; der gleiche Schlagzeugpart diesmal über dem dazugehörigen Playalong gespielt; just das Playalong erst bei normalem dann bei verlangsamtem Tempo damit jeder von Ihnen in seinem ihm eigenen Rhythmus üben kann. Insgesamt werden Ihnen hiermit mehr als 6 h Musikunterricht geboten!

Topics covered include solo concepts phrase development groove concepts syncopations rhythmic modulations and intricate stickings.

- Un répertoire de + de 100 rythmes dans de très nombreux styles et formes- Une approche originale et claire de la technique et du vocabulaire de la batterie, présentés par thèmes. Des concepts de jeux innovants Ce livre a pour but d'aider les batteurs à développer, à préciser et à personnaliser leur jeu. Il regroupe les grandes lignes du jeu de batterie et propose des pistes de travail pour élargir votre horizon musical. Il est aussi conçu pour favoriser l'autonomie et la créativité des musiciens. Chaque chapitre explique un concept de jeu et propose des exemples, mais c'est à vous de prolonger ce travail pour créer vos propres rythmes et exercices ! Mon but est de vous aider à parler le langage de la batterie pour qu'ensuite vous puissiez vous exprimer comme vous le voulez. À tout moment de l'apprentissage, je vous encourage à inventer et à innover (les possibilités ne manquent pas !), ce qui ne dérangera en rien l'assimilation du jeu traditionnel. La présentation par thèmes met en lumière les différentes composantes de la technique et du vocabulaire de cet instrument, du rôle d'accompagnement au solo, de la lecture à l'improvisation. J'ai voulu cette présentation pour donner à celui qui apprend la possibilité de choisir lui même ce qu'il veut travailler. Ces thèmes sont liés les uns aux autres et il est logique de les aborder de front, même s'il est bon à certains moments de n'en voir qu'un. Les thèmes les plus courants, comme la technique de caisse ou les systèmes traditionnels, sont présents sans être développés car il existe de nombreux ouvrages sur le sujet. Les chapitres exercices pour caisse, exercices pour grosse caisse et déplacements sur les fûts proposent des gammes pour développer les capacités physiques et gestuelles des batteurs. Pour bien jouer, il faut se sentir bien sur son instrument. Il est donc indispensable de prendre en compte les aspects corporels du jeu, de s'observer et de demander conseil à un spécialiste pour trouver les bonnes postures et les gestes efficaces. (Voir la gestuelle des batteurs). Le répertoire de rythmes constitue un chapitre à part, qui montre la richesse des différentes cultures musicales qui utilisent la batterie. Il vous permettra d'augmenter votre vocabulaire et peut servir de boîte à idées pour créer vos parties de batterie. Le but n'est évidemment pas de savoir tout jouer, et il ne faut pas oublier que chaque style, chaque musique a une âme et qu'il ne suffit pas de maîtriser un rythme pour que ça sonne! Il s'agit de prendre conscience de cette richesse, qui nous invite tous à l'humilité en nous rappelant que ce qu'on maîtrise n'est qu'une partie modeste de ce qui existe. J'espère que vous trouverez dans ce livre un outil efficace et convivial pour apprendre le jeu de batterie et pour y développer vos propres idées !

Drumstick Control is a snare drum technique method for the drumset player. The book introduces and explains the accented stroke types and combinations both popular and necessary for today's contemporary drummer. All the PAS International Drum Rudiments that contain accents are covered with logical drumset applications (time keeping, fills and solo ideas). This book is a comprehensive technical method organized in a realistic, step-by-step process that focuses on developing stick proficiency through an independent, 'hands-separate' approach. The exercises included represent a thorough rudimental manual with practical drumset application, while providing the framework for hand development, endurance and speed training, as well as ideas for 'chop' maintenance for life. / Batterie

Hands & Feet-'This book is designed for the intermediate/advanced drummer to improve musical technical control and reading ability and presents several rhythmic styles such as funk jazz and Latin. I'm not trying to educate you on the 'correct' Cuban or Brazilian grooves but have used this music as an inspiration for different phrashings and concepts. In the notes you can find book recommendations to explore the styles fully.Please feel free to use the material creatively like repeating bars when you feel like it. You can also use the pieces for advanced sight reading but I suggest that you take time to look carefully at the dynamics and stickings. All the stickings are basedon a right handed player (please reverse them if you are left handed).The basic concept is to have rhythmic compositions with basic classical notation and technique that you can play on a drumset or on a practice pad with your feet stompin' at the floor. The first part is snare and bassdrum with hi-hat foot suggestions. Later in the book hi-hat (with stick) and snarerim are added.The advantage of these concepts is that playing through these etudes is very closely related to what is going on in modern music. Especially important for players in Jazz Rock and Latin but also very useful for a classical percussionist who needs solid music training.The last part of this book is a few pages of technique studies and rhythmic concepts that is related to the compositions. The purpose is not to include all basic strokes and principles (there are already many great books for that) but to show you some concepts that I have found useful and special through my years of playing and teaching.'                            Michael Axen
