Book Reviews of Rudiment Grooves for Drum Set
Book Review: Excellent material - NOT for beginners
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book based on the recommendations here. It's clearly a book I will be returning to soon and offers a wealth of ideas for the application of rudiments across the drum set.
A little warning is due though...this book provides a list of the 26 rudiments, but then dives head first into some very challenging exercises. It's a little above my pay grade for now - and I'm not really a beginner.
Listening to the CD could actually be discouraging, because Rick's tempos are basically obscene - so fast in fact, that it's nearly impossible to read the music and listen at the same time for comprehension.
That being said, these exercises are clearly worth the effort and seem to do a great job of emphasizing rudiments and variations you're likely to be weak in - such as reverse paradiddles, double strokes played in triplet feel, off accents etc.
My overall feeling is that this is no book for beginners, but contains a wealth of insight for really rounding out your technique - recommended!
Summary of Rudiment Grooves for Drum Set
Morph those boring 26 standard rudiments you learned into mind-blowing grooves, fills and solos! All that rhythmic sophistication you hear from great drummers can easily be broken down into its basic elements: the rudiments. Rudiments are the drum language: a basic vocabulary of rhythms that drummers arrange and rearrange when they play grooves, solos and fills. This book shows you how to apply them to the drum set in all styles of music. When you start combining the hands and feet, orchestrating different parts of the rudiments between the various drums and cymbals on your set, you'll start to make inspired music. Fifty illustrated grooves are reinforced on the accompanying CD so you can hear how the rudiments should sound when you apply them to the drum set. Discover how these basics become the foundation for all grooves and moves, including: single and double strokes; stroked rolls; drags; flams; paradiddles, double paradiddles, paradiddle grooves and fills; combinations and more. Your choices of accents, tempos, style and feel are what will ultimately make the rudiments into music. Learning and internalizing them will help you expand your vocabulary to play creative grooves, fills and solos. Use Rudiment Grooves for the Drum Set to create an infinite number of combinations, in any style, and at any tempo.Instruments & Performers Books
