It’s About Time: Designed to Help Drummers Understand, Control, and Improve Their Sense of Time, Book & CD

Description

It’s About Time is the answer to statements you hear such as “don’t rush,” “don’t drag,” and “play in the pocket.” An important element in playing the drums is your time and feel. The exercises and practice CDs in this package will lend a hand identify good and bad time-keeping habits and will help you in deciphering between playing notes and performing music. You’re going to learn concepts such as playing in the back of the beat, in the midst of the beat, on top of the beat, playing “the space,” placement of drum fills, and lots of exercises that will help you develop your “inner-clock.” Also featured are many play-along examples and demonstrations from Dennis Chambers, Ricky Lawson, Harvey Mason, and more, plus an all-star band performing all the accompaniment tracks. Simply a “will have to-have” for all serious drummers and musicians!
