Customer Reviews
""This 96-minute cassette will demonstrate rhythms and exercises from the book and, most usefully, isolates the drums in the left hand stereo channel. Hence the drums may be taken out of the mix to be replaced by sounds of your own playing, or boosted to allow for greater concentration on Barron's own beats." Rhythm, February 1992 "Christine Barron's 'Learn as you play' books on drums and tuned percussion and timpani are excellent. And now they're even better because there's an audio cassette available ... The pieces and exercises in the books are demonstrated by professional musicians. Every new rhythm, fill-in and rudiment is there to ensure you are playing it correctly and at the right tempo. To make it even more enjoyable, all the pop beats, fill-ins and concert pieces are recorded with attractive accompaniments. Learning is now relatively easy, painless, enjoyable and fast." Premier Percussion News, May 1992"
