Take your playing from ordinary to extraordinary in this all-encompassing book/CD package for drummers.

You'll receive valuable tips on performing, recording, the music business, instruments and equipment (including electronics), beats, fills, soloing techniques, care and maintenance, and more.

Styles such as rock, jazz, hip-hop, and Latin are represented through demonstrations of authentic grooves and instruments appropriate for each genre.

The accompanying CD includes many of the examples in the book, performed by Ed Roscetti on drumset, electronic kits, and other percussion instruments.

Many examples are also recorded in a full band setting to hear how important concepts fit in with other instruments and ensembles.
