Vinnie's Book

A comprehensive guide to jazz drumming. Vinnie's Book is a music instruction manual unlike anything you've ever seen - a true, comprehensive study of jazz drumming. A massive 252 page volume, put together by Vinnie Ruggiero "in the interest of the real music" designed to pass on the elements so often overlooked by traditional instruction methods. This beautifully handcrafted book contains the building blocks of true mastery on the instrument. Bursting with transcriptions, compositions, "licks," and concepts, Vinnie's book takes things to the next level and beyond - highlighting touch, phrasing, mindfulness, sound, intention, and so much more! Steeped in the tradition and the rudiments, with an emphasis on beauty and melody, this book delivers.
