Este libro tiene como objetivo hacerle trabajar el control de los cuatros miembros en la bater a. En efecto, sólo con un perfecto control de sus miembros (manos y pies, derechos e izquierdos) el baterista puede tocar todo tipo de grooves, breaks o solos, en todos los estilos musicales. Y por tanto este trabajo resulta primordial… Dividido en dos partes, este método aborda tanto el control horizontal (superior e inferior) como el control vertical (izquierdo y derecho) que permiten vincular las manos y los pies y abordar con más facilidad los múltiples combinados r tmicos que le brinda la bater a. Pero en vez de encadenar un montón de ejercicios técnicos unos detrás de otros, sin verla finalidad musical, se ha privilegiado la práctica con un trabajo espec fico en unos grooves y unos breaks de todos los estilos. As cada parte empieza con los inevitables ejercicios de preparación, antes de encadenar con unas aplicaciones puramente musicales a tocar en unos playbacks. Para cada una de esas aplicaciones musicales, uno tiene cinco grabaciones diferentes en el CD MP3 adjunto, repartidas de la manera siguiente: la bater a sola en aire normal y luego más lento, la misma parte de bater a tocada ahora en su playback, y por último el playback solo, aqu también en aire normal y luego más lento… para que cada uno pueda aprender a tocar a su ritmo, según su nivel y sus capacidades. ¡Son casi 4 horas de música en total!
