Book Reviews of Inside Out: Exploring the Mental Aspects of Drumming
Book Review: Good but not mind-blowing
Summary: 3 Stars
I'd been looking around for drum books that tapped inside the minds of great drummers. I already own a lot of method books and wanted to improve my mental side of drumming. This book looked like it was exactly waht I wanted. I got it, and spent 2 days before I finished it. I must say, it's very easy reading and each chapter is short so it feels very fast.
However, honestly speaking, its more like just talkiing to Billy Ward. I did get a few things out of this book that changed the way I saw things when I drum, but I guess for the price I paid, I was expecting a little bit more.
This book is inspirational, but don't except to be blown away by it.
Summary of Inside Out: Exploring the Mental Aspects of Drumming
This book takes drummers beyond the rudiments and technical exercises to the artistic and spiritual side of what it takes to be a great musician. Master drummer Billy Ward, player and educator, has become one of the most popular columnists in Modern Drummer history. Totally honest and revealing, he shares his series of essays from Modern Drummer magazine that will give players a different perspective on getting better at everything they do, from their own solo playing to the part they play as a component of a band. Topics include: How to Get Gigs, Learning to Groove, Effective Practicing, Session Drumming Tips, Auditioning, Improving Your Mechanics, Wards Quickie Chart System, and more.Percussion Books
