The Thinking Drummer: Energy & Motion

The Thinking Drummer: Energy & Motion, is a 62-page book that looks at the energy of what we play in rock style drumming. While there are many great drum books out there, they tend to present exercises with little explanation behind those exercises. This book investigates how we, as drummers, move energy through time and space. The book is meant to get drummers thinking about what they play and presents various concepts to creatively expand your ideas & abilities. While the book starts out very basic, it takes a completely different perspective on those basic ideas and progresses through more advanced concepts. The ideas presented are designed to be applied to what you are already playing. Besides looking at Energy & Motion, there are exercises for control, and alternative ideas that are designed to open up your creativity. The book is recommended for intermediate to advanced drummers.
