In his latest book, Diploma Repertoire for Drummers, Paul Hose presents a fascinating collection of material taken from his recent collaboration with the professional guitarist, Lee Wrathe.The book begins with a list of benefits and a solid justification as to why many modern players are now opting to study for a diploma in music. Hose then explains how students should use the resource, along with the supplementary materials that are to be found via the author's website; thus providing further evidence of his understanding of the contemporary music education sector.After discussing the repertoire and technical requirements, along with setting out the rudiments to be studied at this level, the reader is then presented with a series of tracks taken from Wrathe's brilliant album, Awakening. As a preface to each piece are the technical requirements to be studied, accompanied with a contextual note provided by Wrathe himself. Hose then provides further insights into what influenced his original part, along with a more detailed walkthrough of the piece. I strongly suspect the book, which is the latest of a series being written by the author, will be warmly received by both students and teachers alike, and is an invaluable companion suitable for the advanced drummer.- Simon Brown - Director of Education at the Music Learning Collective; Lecturer at the Confetti Institute of Creative Technologies; Associate Lecturer at The Open University.
