Progressive Independence: Rock: A Comprehensive Guide to Basic Rock and Funk Drumming

by Ron Spagnardi

(Percussion). This bestselling book is designed to help players gain an extremely high level of coordinated independence for rock drumming performance, thereby freeing all four limbs from dependence on one another. Once the material in this book has been mastered, students will be capable of playing almost any rhythmic figure on snare and bass drum, in combination with six varied hi-hat/cymbal patterns, while the hi-hat foot plays quarter notes, 8th notes, or upbeat 8ths. All examples are played on the accompanying CD.
