A REALISTIC APPROACH TO SNARE DRUM TECHNIQUE APPLIED TO DRUMSET
BY JEFF MOORE

CATEGORY: PERCUSSION - SNARE DRUM METHOD
FORMAT: BOOK & CD
INSTRUMENT: SNARE DRUM

-DRUMSTICK CONTROL IS A SNARE DRUM TECHNIQUE METHOD FOR THE DRUMSET PLAYER. THE BOOK INTRODUCES AND EXPLAINS THE ACCENTED STROKE TYPES AND COMBINATIONS BOTH POPULAR AND NECESSARY FOR TODAY`S CONTEMPORARY DRUMMER. ALL THE PAS INTERNATIONAL DRUM RUDIMENTS THAT CONTAIN ACCENTS ARE COVERED WITH LOGICAL DRUMSET APPLICATIONS (TIME KEEPING, FILLS AND SOLO IDEAS). THIS BOOK IS A COMPREHENSIVE TECHNICAL METHOD ORGANIZED IN A REALISTIC, STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS THAT FOCUSES ON DEVELOPING STICK PROFICIENCY THROUGH AN INDEPENDENT, 'HANDS-SEPARATE' APPROACH. THE EXERCISES INCLUDED REPRESENT A THOROUGH RUDIMENTAL MANUAL WITH PRACTICAL DRUMSET APPLICATION, WHILE PROVIDING THE FRAMEWORK FOR HAND DEVELOPMENT, ENDURANCE AND SPEED TRAINING, AS WELL AS IDEAS FOR 'CHOP' MAINTENANCE FOR LIFE.
