Great Book April 18, 2005

I have been working in this book for around a year. I started it to help me learn to read drum notation in a format that would not be boring. The book, and practice, have moved me to levels I could not imagine at the beginning of the journey. The other day I finally "heard" what I saw. Great book- get it.

I am enjoying this book. It has some great 'meat and potatoes' hihat patterns. If anyone has played-even for quite a while- it is possible that you have overlooked something basic. The hats section is great for filling in the blanks. The funk patterns section is flat-out fun. You can't help but feel the attitude. The transcriptions section allows you a peek inside the brains of some of the greats: Steve Gadd, David Garibaldi, Harvey Mason, etc... There is also a solo section, which I haven't tackled yet, but looks to be challenging and entertaining. There are 2 cds included. Additionally,any creativity on your part in the way of stickings and voicing expands the possibilities exponentially. I believe that you will find that this is money well spent. Grab your sticks and enjoy!

Latham does a great job communicating the technique of funk drumming with the complete transcriptions. Not a beat is missed.
I enjoyed working with my conservatory graduated teacher on the solos in this book over several years.

I like the solos. It was hard to find a good book with drum solos plus extra and a CD.

Jack is such a good teacher because he always knows what I should work on next, and next is good. This book was his latest next suggestion for me, and he was right again. It's a big part of my practice day now, and there are pages and pages of funky fun to be had.
