Par RICHARDSON DAWN. Beginning drum books can make or break a student\'s desire to learn the instrument. This book was conceived by a seasoned professional with the idea of developing a collection of exercises that effectively balance simplicity to hold the student\'s interest. The techniques have been tried and tested through the author\'s many years of teaching beginning rock drumming. The end result of the author\'s efforts is a book that specifically addresses the rock drum kit as used in today\'s pop music. This comprehensive, progressive method provides all the concepts and guidance needed to develop solid basic rock drumming skills. / Niveau : Débutant / Rock - Licks and Phrases / Méthode / 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

Cet ouvrage présente près de 200 rythmes de batterie et autant de breaks correspondants. Tous sont issus du répertoire des plus grands batteurs d'hier et d'aujourd'hui et font désormais figure de référence. Conçu par un batteur professionnel, cet ouvrage a la particularité de s'adresser à un double public : les batteurs, bien sûr, qui trouveront dans ces pages une inépuisable mine de 'plans' croustillants, qu'il leur suffira d'intégrer à leur propre jeu afin d'en enrichir le contenu - les autres musiciens (bassistes, guitaristes, clavieristes, saxophonistes, etc.) qui y trouveront un support idéal pour programmer leurs boîtes à rythmes et autres séquenceurs, et ainsi travailler sur des rythmes solides et variés. Chaque exemple se décline de la manière suivante : un rythme de deux mesures suivi d'une mesure de break débouchant sur une 4ème mesure, ramenant au début. Libre alors à chacun de travailler selon les nombreux styles proposés : Rock, Blues, Metal, Latin (Samba, Bossa Nova, etc.) et Jazz, ainsi que tous les dérivés qui en sont issus. Le CD vous permettra d'écouter chaque exemple, vous aidant ainsi à sélectionner ceux qui vous plaisent mais aussi à en parfaire l'exécution. / Batterie
