A historical and in-depth study of R&B drumming, from soul to funk to hip-hop, written by world-renowned session Zoro (Lenny Kravitz, Bobby Brown, Sean Lennon).

This book not only pays homage to the R&B drummers of the past, but gives the reader a fortune of invaluable information both in history and playing.

This revised edition features updated information, new photos and album artwork. Plus Audio Online play-along recording featuring various styles of R&B, and also includes an R&B history tree.
