Book Reviews of The Commandments of Early Rhythm and Blues Drumming (Book & CD)
Book Review: Essential for any serious student of drumming.
Summary: 5 Stars
Beautifully produced, this book fills a missing link between early American drumming and the present. Filled with things to practice it clearly illustrates the connection todays great drummers have to the not so distant past.
update:
Its been about a year now since I started using this book in my studio with my beginning and advanced students. This book has done more for my students, all of them, to create strong fundamentals in groove musicianship than any other book in my library. In a world where one can be bamboozled into thinking that time is merely mechanical, this book cultivates a sense of time and groove that is core to rock, jazz or any genre of music. Its easy for a producer or engineer to ask a player to be more "layed back" or "on top of the beat" or "in the pocket." Or just musical, but how do you know what that means if you haven't been born to a musical culture closer to the Mississippi or further South?
Saul Goodman, my timpani teacher at Juilliard once said that "Beethoven gives you timpani playing on a silver platter." I can say after using this book with everyone young and old that Daniel Glass gives you drumming on a silver platter. There is a wealth of knowledge that Mr. Glass has gleaned through years of travelling to meet the people he introduces.
This book is simply a labor of love. I would have loved to have met some of the greats he knew. These drummers many of whom are no longer with us must have seen a chance in Mr. Glass to preserve and impart something precious about music through the role of the drummer.
And then best of all, he delivers the beats, one by one, in context for a feast of the good stuff that musicians love to play.
Summary of The Commandments of Early Rhythm and Blues Drumming (Book & CD)
Eight years in the making, this prequel to The Commandments of R&B Drumming delves into the rhythm and blues of the 1940s and '50s, an incredible musical era when shuffles ruled the airwaves and modern groove playing was in its infancy. Written by Zoro and Daniel Glass, drummer for the Royal Crown Revue, this book is loaded with history, photos, graphics, exercises, and transcriptions, and includes the most comprehensive guide to shuffle playing ever written.Instruments & Performers Books
