Publisher: Mel Bay
Instrumentals, Beats and Fills for Blues/Rock Drumming
by Jim Ryan and Steven Johnson

The Complete Blues/Rock Drummer is an advanced instruction book specializing in blues and blues/rock beats. This book includes fills and instrumentals, both with and without drums for play-along. About half of the book features advanced beats with fills and the other half consists of instrumentals. Drummers interested in studying blues will learn much from this book.

Like most musical styles, the breadth of blues music is vast, taking on many forms throughout different parts of the United States. Our aim is to focus on a few styles and demonstrate the drumming that is associated with each style. After that, it's your turn to play-along and come up with your own parts or play the transcription of each song.
