Description
“Beats & Pieces” is an extension of John Trotter’s book “The Working Drummer”. This time around, rather than focusingon individual elements, it’s about compiling the ideas into short “pieces” and solos. This book is an ideal all-levels manual which will give the student a realistic insight into groove building and embellishment. The genres covered include: Rock, Funk, Latin, Afro-Cuban, New Orleans, Swing, Reggae, Disco and Soul. There is also a string of “groove variations” played with brushes, tom-toms and double kick. Every example features on the accompanying CD!
