Rock drum legend Carmine
Appice shows you how to play exciting and powerful drum
fills like the pros, using a systematic method of replacing certain
notes in the 16th or triplet flow with bass drum strokes. By using this
book, drummers can learn how to incorporate the bass drums into their
fills, thereby creating a complete professional vocabulary of cool,
effective ideas to use in rock and other styles. The patterns contained
in the book start with 8th notes and progress to 16th notes and
triplets, with the rhythms split between the hands and feet. The fills
are then expanded to include mixed stickings and accents, and are
orchestrated around the kit. The included MP3 disc contains audio
examples of many of the patterns in the book performed by Hudson's own Senior Drum Editor Joe Bergamini,
as well as video footage of Carmine in live performance, showing how he
applies these concepts.
