In the new
Steve Smith Legends, you
get a brand new 40-page
interview which covers
Steve's entire career and
virtually every band and
recording in which he's
played as a sideman or a
leader including:
Jean-Luc Ponty, Ronnie
Montrose, Steps Ahead,
Vital Information, Mike
Stern, Hiromi, the many
editions of the band
Electric Miles, the
tribute gigs playing The
Music of Coltrane and The
Music of Ornette Coleman.
We discuss what it means
to be a professional
drummer and musician, the
history of jazz and
fusion drumming, the
music business, and being
an eternal student of the
drums and music. To help
you study how Steve
interprets music and
creates drum parts, he
gave us eight of his own
handwritten drum charts
from the Journey and Mike
Stern gigs. The reader
also gets an in-depth
step-by-step lesson on
Indian rhythms and
drumming. LEGENDS also
comes with a free
download component of
Steve's drum solo
recording The Fabric of
Rhythm (a $200 value)
with exclusive in-depth
explanations of each
solo. For the gear
obsessed drummers, Steve
gives us a complete
rundown of every drum set
that he has owned,
recorded, and toured
with, and hundreds of
never-before-seen
pictures from his own
archive. You will also
get over 50 brand new
transcriptions. However,
LEGENDS transcriptions
are not just the notes
and rests. LEGENDS also
includes Steve's thoughts
on what makes the
transcribed parts and
recordings special and
unique. Along with the
detailed transcriptions,
we discuss WHAT and WHY
he played what he did.
Plus, you get all six of
Steve's past Modern
Drummer cover feature
interviews. There are a
lot of surprises in every
LEGENDS book, and there
is a mountain of useful
information inside the
over 248 pages! This is
not just another drum
book or magazine, it's
Modern Drummer
LEGENDS.
