Daily Drumset Workout (book/CD MP3)

Alfred Publications
A Day-to-Day Guide to Better Drumming by Claus Hessler
Preface by Dom Famularo

Inthis comprehensive 224-page publication you can find everything a contemporary drummer needs to be able to play today.
Claus teaches you new rhythmic skills that facilitate greater security and musical freedom. Whether you play rock, pop, funk, Latin, jazz, Afro-Cuban, or second--line music, the MP3 CD enables you to practice every exercise in every style in three different tempos.
Each groove, style and tempo, using dynamics from very soft to very loud, are practiced in a daily routine, and through this technique, the player’s response to the rhythmic grooves and patterns becomes automatic, allowing greater concentration on the musical aspects of modern drumming. Constant practice will advance your skills at the drumset and help develop endurance, discipline, structured thinking, and ear-training.
