tionally, the cassettes contain a lot of information which will not
be found in the book. (Note: Supplemental exercises can be
found in this book.) Lastly, each tape is not intended to be played

through this unique combination of audio cassettes and books
(each session contains two one-hour cassettes).

readers and non-re'aders. Many beats and fills are played at slow tempos
so they can be learned by ear.

This session contains the incredible double bass drum shuffle

as well as a multitude of double bass beats and fills,
6-note groupings,'awkwardt fills, cymbal'smashing' and
bass drum aerobics.
Cet into DOUBLE BASS DRUMMINC and add power, drive
and a new dimension to your drumming.
