This method is designed for both the bassists and drummers and its purpose is to help them play together in almost all major musical styles: Rock, Blues, Funk, Rhythm and Blues, Disco/Dance, Reggae, Latin music, etc... The many grooves presented here, even if they can be practised alone, are intended to be played in a band, or at least by a bass/drum duo, either on stage or in a studio or simply among friends. Each example displays the bass line along with its tab and the drum score just below allowing to situate each instrument in relation to the other. In this way, the grooves can easily be read and analysed from both perspectives. For each style, you will begin practisingone bar, then two bar patterns... before tackling longer and more complex grooves. To put this into application, all you will have to do is use your own chord changes or those you like, as well as play the patterns you find interesting over these chords. On the CD, the bass examples are played on the left channel and the drums examples on the right channel. With a centred sound balance you will be able to hear both instruments!

No Beethoven chronicles the life and times of drummer Peter Erskine, with the legendary band Weather Report being the nexus to this first-hand account. Erskine was in the midst of the modern American jazz music scene as it underwent its most dynamic change. Peter Erskine is a musician of his times with incredibly rich stories to tell in this autobiography. Including never-before published photographs. No Beethoven includes chapters dedicated to Weather Report and the musicians Joe Zawinul, Jaco Pastorius, and Wayne Shorter, plus the bands Steps Ahead, Steely Dan, and artists such as Elvin Jones, Joni Mitchell, Freddie Hubbard, Diana Krall, Steve Gadd, producer Manfred Eicher, composers John Williams, and Mark-Anthony Turnage, et al. The book provides a revealing look at the creative process involved in performing music on-stage and in the recording studio, as well as a behind-the-scenes look at how the musical instrument industry operates. This is a book for all musicians and fans of music. As famed drummer and Rush founder Neil Peart writes: No Beethoven is among the best musical autobiographies I have read. Peter's story is absorbing and compelling, full of well-drawn characters and incidents both humorous and serious. It flows with the same ease and naturalness as his drumming, and under that good-humored gloss, it conveys the same profundity of experience and ideas. This book should be read not only by every drummer, but by every musician. Even amateurs of music performance will find it entertaining and worthwhile.

Kaum ein anderes Instrument ist in den letzten Jahrzehnten so popular geworden wie das Schlagzeug. Ob Rock, Jazz, Bigband, Latin- oder Tanzmusik - immer wird das Gesamtbild einer Band entscheidend durch den Drummer und seine Spielweise gepragt. Holger Halbig - vielbeschaftigter Live- und Studiomusiker - hat als Drummer und Perkussionist mit vielen bekannten Bands und internationalen Solisten gespielt. Seine Workshops in STICKS - dem Magazin fur Schlagzeug und Perkussion - und die erfolgreiche Entwicklung seiner Percussion & Drum School in den letzten 15 Jahren weisen Halbig auch als kompetenten Lehrer aus. Die von ihm entwickelte ganzheitliche Methode fur Schlagzeug verbindet bewahrte Grundlagen der traditionellen Ausbildung mit dem direkten Umsetzen in lebendige Grooves auf dem kompletten Drumset. Dabei steht der praxisbezogene Umgang mit dem Erlernten immer im Vordergrund - der Schuler macht von Anfang an Musik und wird auf spielerische Weise zum guten Drummer. Die beiliegende CD, mit vielen Beispielen fur das Spiel in der Band und Anregungen fur die ersten eigenen Drum-Soli, dient als zusatzliche Lern- und Motivationshilfe. Sie enthalt uber zweieinhalb Stunden Musik mit live eingespielten Playbacks in Form von 35 Audio-Tracks und 99 MP3-Tracks. So macht Lernen Spass!

Si empieza a tocar la batería nuestro libro está hecho para usted. Su meta es hacerle tocar sus primeros grooves y breaks de batería sin tardar, para que el placer de tocar sea inmediato. Tratándose de sus primeros grooves, la idea no consiste en absoluto en deslumbrar a la gente sino en tocar unos toques sencillos y a compás, en unos playbacks completos como si estuviera tocando en una banda. En resumidas cuentas, ser todo un verdadero músico... aunque usted sea un baterista principiante. Principiante, por cierto, pero deseoso de progresar. Y por eso, los grooves y breaks propuestos al estudio se harán más ricos ymás complejos a lo largo del libro. Desde la negra hasta la semicorchea, pasando por la corchea y el tresillo. Siguiendo el orden lógico de nuestro método, el estudiante aprenderá y progresará tocando. Para cada uno de los 40 toques propuestos al estudio hay 5 grabaciones diferentes en el CD MP3 incluido en el método, divididas de la siguiente manera: la batería sola, en un aire normal y luego lento, la misma parte de batería tocada esta vez en su playback, y por último, el playback solo, en un aire normal y luego lento... para que cada uno pueda aprender y tocar a su ritmo, según su nivel y capacidad. O sea ¡más de 6 horas de música en total!
