Cet ouvrage a pour objectif de vous faire travailler le contrôle des quatre membres à la batterie. Ce n?est en effet que grâce à un parfait contrôle de ses membres (mains et pieds, gauches et droits) que le batteur peut avoir accès à tous les types de grooves, breaks ou soli, et ce dans tous les styles de musique. Ce qui rend le travail proposé ici tout à fait primordial... Divisée en deux parties, cette méthode aborde aussi bien le contrôle horizontal (supérieur et inférieur) que le contrôle vertical (gauche et droit), qui permettent de relier les mains et les pieds et ainsi d?appréhender plus facilement les multiples combinaisons rythmiques que propose la batterie. Mais plutôt que d?enchaîner des tas d?exercices techniques les uns derrière les autres, sans en distinguer la finalité musicale, l?accent est avant tout mis ici sur la pratique, avec un travail spécifique sur des grooves et des breaks de tous styles. Ainsi, chaque partie commence par quelques inévitables exercices de préparation, avant d?enchaîner sur des applications purement musicales à jouer sur des playbacks. Pour chacune de ces applications musicales, sont disponibles cinq enregistrements différents sur le CD'MP3 joint, répartis de la façon suivante : la batterie seule, au tempo normal puis ralenti, la même partie de batterie jouée cette fois sur son playback, et enfin le playback seul, là encore au tempo normal puis ralenti... pour que chacun puisse apprendre et jouer à son rythme, selon son niveau et ses capacités. Soit près de 4 heures de musique en tout !

Par SILVERMAN ROB. Intended for the beginning drum student, this book contains many essential reading and playing skills for the snare and drumset. These studies are integrated in a logical, sequential order. For example, a new rhythm is introduced and studied on the snare drum, then later applied as a beat and then a fill. The same rhythm will appear later in the book for review and then in one of the play-along tunes. This way each concept is reinforced and utilized in different ways. Because of the need to stress the importance of dynamics and their role in the proper execution of playing a piece, dynamic markings are included in many of the snare drum exercises. The author has gone to extreme measures to provide a fun and humorous way of learning to play drums while at the same time implementing the fundamental tools necessary to be a proficient musician. The companion CD presents eight play-along tunes with and without the drums. / Niveau : Débutant à Intermédiaire / Rock and Jazz - Methods / Méthode / Batterie
