E-BOOK: DRUM TIPS: Practical Ideas and Insights for Drum-Set Performance
DRUM TIPS is a collection of conceptual, musical, and technical ideas based on over 40 years of acquired knowledge and experience that I have gained through performing, studying, and teaching. It is meant for drummers of all levels as it touches on a wide variety of topics such as time keeping, fills, phrasing, Jazz comping, improvisation, drum chart interpretation, and style variations.
