  • The Drummer's Bible: How To Play Every Drum Style

    This is a great book and I've only scratched the surface for learning from it. The authors did a 'bang up' job putting this together. Odd time signatures have always fascinated me even though my drumming throughout life has consisted mostly of basic 4/4 time and I mostly like to play along with favorite songs by INXS, David Bowie, James Brown etc. I recommend the book highly.

  • Fantastic Percussions by Professionals

    For a novice who's trying to learn how to play the drums, it's a good book to practice. The included CDs are an essential and compelling reason for my choice.
