Funk: Drum Play-Along Volume 5 (Hal Leonard Drum Play-Along) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am not familiar with any of these songs.But that makes it perfect to practice improvising to unfamiliar music!You can play a straight beat or stretch out and groove all over the place.And because I don't know how the original drummer played it, I can really have fun with it and not feel constrained to play what someone else played.

Of course, they do have the original drum part on one track and the drum part taken out on the next track.So if you want to learn how the original drummer played it, you can listen, read the music that comes with it, and then go nuts.

I don't believe that the original musicians played on this CD, but the quality is very good and sounds authentic.The vocal track is missing and that is the only complaint that I would have, but even that is not too big of a deal.

This is a lot of fun to play along with weather you are a fan of funk or not.I do not really enjoy listening to funk, but I LOVE to play it!!Who knows, maybe I'll start to develop a taste to hear more!!!

This is WELL WORTH the money.You will not be sorry.It even includes the Amazing Slow Downer software that will slow or speed the song without changing the pitch.Good stuff!!

Big Band: Drum Play-Along Volume 9 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)BE FOREWARNED, THIS IS NOT A PLAY-ALONG!!!!
I was tremendously disappointed, I already have excellent recordings of big band tunes! This is labeled a "Play-Along" which would indicate music minus drums.Perhaps even like the Rock books in this series with one example track with drums and one performance track without drums.How hard would that have been!!!Really feel shisted by Hal Leonard on this one.ITS NOT A REAL PLAY-ALONG!Save your money and buy a great recording of one of the great old big bands!
