DG’z Notebook, the newest book from Tower of Power drumming legend David Garibaldi, is a challenging and fun method to expand your creative groove vocabulary and develop an inspiring practice routine. The book consists of intermediate to advanced funk grooves that employ topics focused on improving your playing in specific areas: permutating a groove to different places in the bar, applying odd phrases to 4/4 grooves, using your favorite songs as practice tracks for advanced groove ideas, and much more.

Accompanying this book are practice tools including video for nearly every example in the book and notation with a moving cursor. The video and notation can be sped up, slowed down, and resized in any way you desire. There has never been a more complete funk drumming method with practice tools and an approach to practice available!

Many have wondered what system David uses to push himself and achieve higher levels of playing. With DG’z Notebook, David reveals that system for you.

Various topics within a framework of funk/R&B drumming are included, although the ideas can be applied to any style. Beat permutations, shuffles, 6/8 playing, and the importance of triplet grooves are covered. David also updates two classic studies from Future Sounds with new, advanced variations. The concept of playing odd 16th-note or 8th-note based meters that cycle within 4/4, 6/8 or 12/8 time is a major topic, expanded upon in several lessons.
