West African Rhythms for Drumset (Manhattan Music Publications) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I would like to post the following quote from Modern Drummer Magazine (September 98) in the interview with drummer Billy Martin of Medenski Martin & Wood.
MD Do you have a particular mode of practice?
BM I highly recommend Royal Hartigan's book West African Rhythms for Drumset. I feel that if drummers would check out some of the patterns in this book they'd really get a lot out of it. What's great about it is you're playing some traditional rhythms that are adapted for drumset, which I think is important because they've been tried and tested over hundreds of years. It's good for coordination, and these rhythms are musical, they're not just technical exercises. And Hartigan talks a little bit about the history. I think it's one of the best books our on drumset stuff.
MDSo this book is a real source for you?
BMWell, It's one book that I would pull out if I needed some inspriation as far as really trying to get into into playing something different.
Tha! nks! Please feel free to contact me if you want to find out more about it.
