The Total Blues Drummer is an exciting journey through the diverse world
of blues drumming. It covers many of the styles that make blues drumming
so rewarding---from the blues sounds of Chicago, Memphis, and Texas to
funky blues, jazz blues, and blues-rock. You'll learn drumbeats in the
vein of famous artists like Buddy Guy, B. B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughan,
Muddy Waters, and ZZ Top. Start with basic blues beats and end up
playing linear supergrooves that will help secure your status as a bona
fide blues master. Beginning and intermediate players will find all the
tools they need to become great drummers, while more advanced players
will find a fresh perspective and expert tips on the art of blues
drumming. This is the only book you will need in your quest to becoming
a great blues drummer. The CD features a full blues band demonstrating
the examples in the book.
It's hard to imagine a more informative and fun blues drumming book than
this one.
