Book Reviews of Mel Bay's Complete Modern Drum Set
Book Review: EXCELLENT !! One book & video every drummer should own!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is one that should be in every drummers library! There isn't one thing that Frank left out of this book. The book starts out with Rudimental Studies and applies them to the kit. This is a great section because, all those rudiments that you learn over the years can finally be applies to the kit in many different ways. From there you get into Linear Patterns and then R&B, Funk & Rock, Blues & Shuffle, World Beats and Odd Meters. All those sections will keep you all busy for quite a while. Make sure you make these grooves your own... play them until they are part of your library. The section I found fun and challenging is Over The Bar. This section has playing 3/16 in 4/4 time, 5/16 in 4/4 time and many others. I found that you could play some of these things over an ostinato, then move them around the kit... you can come up with some real cool ideas. Then there is the Play-Along Tape & Drum Charts, Appendix and the ever important Glossary. Make sure you get your copy as soon as possible, cause' this will take you to places you have never been before! Don't forget to get the video. This companion tape shows Frank's versatility as a drummer. WOW .... what a great drummer & author!!
Summary of Mel Bay's Complete Modern Drum Set
This book offers challenging material for the intermediate to advanced drummer. Addressing a multitude of styles, Frank Briggs helps guide your playing to a higher plane while improving your technique and raising your awareness of cutting edge concepts such as metric modulation, displaced beats, polyrhythms, and more. Frank Briggs states, "He believes the more you know about different styles and the inner workings of time and phrasing, the better your ability to contribute to the music at hand. The clearer you see the parallels or the common threads that tie these concepts together, the more freedom you will have to express yourself."Instruments & Performers Books
