RUDIMENTAL LOGIC by Bill Bachman

A Guide to the Art of Rudimental Drumming

"This books is designed as an instructional tool for rudimental drummers and as a guide for those wishing to better understand the techniques used by many top players and ensembles. The issues covered apply primarily to all of the instruments in the modern drumline: snares, quads and bass.

I have done my best to lay this book out in a logical and progressive order. However, much of the text is so closely related that it may be necessary to skip around from time to time.

Variations in tempo require variations in technique when playing rudiments. Over the course of one minute, a rudiment should be played slowly, then gradually sped up to a fast tempo, and then gradually slowed back down to the original tempo. This slow - fast - slow breakdown will insure that your hands and mind are trained to successfully execute a given rudiment at any tempo.

I hope that this book is of great service to you in your quest for rudimental drumming excellence!" - Bill Bachman

BASS DRUM CONTROL (REVISED EDITION)

by Colin Bailey (©1998)

This perennial favorite among drummers helps players develop their bass drum technique and increase their flexibility through the mastery of exercises. Contains accent exercises as well as bass drum combinations (with and without snare drum) ranging from one to eight bass drum beats, endurance exercises, sixteenth note / triplet exercises, rudimental exercises and solos. Note: this is no beginner book.

I guarantee you it will improve your footwork regardless of your current playing ability. The accompanying audio gives great examples of the written exercises and working them up to the speed they are on the tape will surely increase your foot strength, speed & accuracy. If you can keep up with Colin you're doin' pretty damn good!!

THE BEATLES ANTHOLOGY by The Beatles


Here, for the first time in print, is the history of The Beatles - by The Beatles.

This extraordinary project has been made possible because Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr have agreed to tell their combined story especially for this book. Together with Yoko Ono, they have alsa made available the full transcripts (including all the outtakes) of the television and video series The Beatles Anthology. Through painstaking compilation of sources worldwide, John Lennon's words are equally represented in this remarkable volume. Furthermore, The Beatles have opened their personal and management archives specifically for this project, allowing the unprecedented release of all photographs which they took along their ride to fame, as well as fascinating documents and memorabilia from their homes and offices.

Created with their full cooperation, The Beatles Anthology is, in effect, The Beatles' autobiography. Like their music, which has been a part of so many of our lives, it's warm, frank, funny, poignant and bold. At last, here is The Beatles' own story!

HARD BOP ACADEMY / The Sidemen of Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers by Alan Goldsher

Jazz legend Art Blakey was not only a distinguished, inventive, powerful drummer, but along with Duke Ellington and Miles Davis, he was one of jazz's foremost talent scouts. The instrumentalists who flowed in and out of Blakey's ever-evolving collective, the Jazz Messengers, during their 36 year run were among the most important artists not just of their eras, but of any era.

Part oral history, part loving homage, Alan Goldsher's 'Hard Bop Academy' is an affectionate look at some of the brilliant instrumentalists who helped make the Jazz Messengers one of the most enduring, most popular, most reliable, most vital small bands in modern jazz history.

Featuring interviews with 24 former Jazz Messengers including Horace Silver, Freddie Hubbard, Cedar Walton, and Wynton Marsalis - as well as introductions by Branford Marsalis, Javon Jackson, and Bobby Watson - this book is a literary jam session saluting a group that always had and always will deliver the hard bop message.

JOHN BONHAM - A Thunder Of Drums

by Chris Welch and Geoff Nicholls

176 pages / color and b&w photos

A legend in the world of drumming, John Bonham inspired millions with his energy, creativity and power. For the first time in print, an intimate biography of the man is accompanied by a full appraisal of his drumming techniques - drawing on all nine Led Zeppelin albums released in his lifetime.

 

This is the first book to take a comprehensive look at the life and work of arguably the most awe-inspiring, influential and widely loved rock drummer of all time. Through a series of first-hand reminiscences and anecdotes from Bonham's family and fellow musicians - including his Led Zeppelin colleagues and fellow drummers.

Drummer Geoff Nicholls considers Bonham the player: he analyzes over 30 Zeppelin tracks, from the groundbreaking 'Kashmir' and much-sampled 'When The Levee Breaks' to gems like 'Fool In The Rain' and 'The Crunge' - revealing the splendour of Bonzo's radically forceful technique, but pointing out the subtle musical awareness underpinning it. He also provides the most detailed and accurate inventory ever of Bonham's drum kits and percussion equipment.

 

*This book does not contain written drum notation. It is written as a biography - with hundreds of black & white photos, quotes from bandmates and fellow musicians, as well the most complete story ever written about the life of John Henry Bonham.
