Afro-Caribbean Rhythms for the Drumset

Practical Applications, using Afro-Caribbean Rhythms to Develop Command and Control of the Drumset. Formerly a three-part series that explores Afro-Caribbean rhythms as applied to the drum set, this revision combines the series into one book and two CDs. The unique approach is in teaching rhythms while developing total drum set technique and independence. Includes English and Spanish text and an authentic recording performed by a band of Latin music all-stars. Styles covered include: cha-cha-cha, samba, mambo, cumbia, bolero, 6/8 merengue, songo, bossa nova, NY mozambique. Also covers Latin, jazz, rock, and funk applications for these styles.
