ALL
THE GREATEST DRUMMING BOOKS IN ONE SPOT
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. Though the
basic rhythm patterns are represented (and beginning
students are advised to use this book) - this book
is for those who think they got their feet "together".
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!!

BEATLES ANTHOLOGY by The
Beatles

of The Beatles - by The Beatles.
This
extraordinary project has been made possible because

Through painstaking compilation of sources worldwide,
John Lennon's words are equally represented in this
remarkable volume. Furthermore, The Beatles have opened

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.
