Description

(Percussion). Designed as a companion to Todd Sucherman’s award-winning first DVD release, Methods and Mechanics , this book sheds new light at the playing and concepts of some of the exciting drummers of our time. Built around note-for-note transcriptions by drummer/educator Brad Schlueter, the book also includes detailed statement from both Todd and Brad about the concepts contained in Todd’s playing.
