Lessons with the Greats -- Drums, Vol 1 (Book & 2 CDs) (Manhattan Music Publications)

This outstanding book, the first in the Lessons with the Greats series, contains two lesson-matching CDs so every percussionist can study and hear the grooves, fills, techniques, and concepts of Kenny Aronoff, Greg Bissonette, Terry Bozzio, Peter Erskine, Steve Smith, Dave Weckl, and John Xepoleas. Sticking patterns, grooves, double bass drum studies, solo ideas, ostinato patterns, polyrhythms, and developing a touch on the instrument are just a few of the topics covered.
