In his
latest book, Diploma
Repertoire for Drummers,
Paul Hose presents a
fascinating collection of
material taken from his
recent collaboration with
the professional
guitarist, Lee
Wrathe.
The book
begins with a list of
benefits and a solid
justification as to why
many modern players are
now opting to study for a
diploma in music. Hose
then explains how
students should use the
resource, along with the
supplementary materials
that are to be found via
the author's website;
thus providing further
evidence of his
understanding of the
contemporary music
education
sector.
After
discussing the repertoire
and technical
requirements, along with
setting out the rudiments
to be studied at this
level, the reader is then
presented with a series
of tracks taken from
Wrathe's brilliant album,
Awakening. As a preface
to each piece are the
technical requirements to
be studied, accompanied
with a contextual note
provided by Wrathe
himself.
Hose then
provides further insights
into what influenced his
original part, along with
a more detailed
walkthrough of the piece.
I strongly suspect the
book, which is the latest
of a series being written
by the author, will be
warmly received by both
students and teachers
alike, and is an
invaluable companion
suitable for the advanced
drummer.
