historical record of one of the greatest rock drummers of all time
for the enjoyment and education of today's drummers and all future
generations to come. Highly recommended not just for Bonham fans or
Rock 'n' Rollers but for all drummers, regardless of style."

(Percussion). Taking Center Stage is the definitive print
retrospective and musical documentation of the career of one of the
greatest rock drummers of all time, Neil Peart of Rush. Originally
conceived as a companion to the groundbreaking 2011 3-disc DVD set
of the same name, this book combines astonishingly detailed musical
transcriptions, historical writing, instructional text, and a
beautiful collection of photographs to create a book that every
drummer and every fan of Neil and Rush will want to add to their
collection. At the heart of the book are note-for-note musical
transcriptions of 17 songs that are included on the Taking Center
Stage DVD. These transcriptions are exclusive to this book, since
they are taken from the performances on the DVD, documenting how
Neil currently approaches the songs. Some of the tracks included
are "Tom Sawyer," "Red Barchetta," "The Spirit of Radio," "Free
Will," "Subdivisions," "Time Stand Still," "Marathon," "La Villa
Strangiato," "The Trees," "Caravan," "BU2B," "Far Cry," and many
others. But this is much more than a mere transcription book. The
book is divided into chapters corresponding to each and every Rush
tour from the time Neil joined the band in 1975, up to the present.
Each of these chapters contains extensive text discussing the
musical approach of the band at the time, the construction of the
drum parts, and Neil's set up. Accompanying this are exquisitely
detailed diagrams of each of Neil's drumsets, produced after
extensive research into the exact instruments that were used on
every tour. Tying everything together is a beautiful collection of
dozens of photographs taken over the past 30 years, including
exclusive shots from the archives of Fin Costello and Andrew
McNauhgtan, which show Neil and his drums in vivid detail. The book
also contains color reproductions of just about every drum company
advertisement that featured Neil during his career. Written,
transcribed, and researched by well-known drummer, author, and
educator Joe Bergamini (who also co-produced and appeared in the
DVD), and overseen and edited by Neil himself, Taking Center Stage:
A Lifetime of Live Performance is the most complete, accurate, and
definitive work on Neil Peart's career as a drummer.
(Percussion). The Evolution of Jazz Drumming presents a complete
historical overview and analysis of jazz drumming. Designed as a
guide and workbook for the high school, college level, and
professional drummer, it is designed to be studied based on a
typical 16-week college semester. A legendary and influential jazz
drummer is studied during each of these weeks. Upon completion of
the book, the user will have a complete understanding of the
influential contributions of these jazz masters, which is necessary
for any musician to play this music authentically. The 31 jazz
drumming legends included are examined with musical analysis
including practice exercises in the style of the subject's
drumming, transcriptions of both solo and time playing, and etudes
that examine the work of each artist in unprecedented detail. Each
profile also includes a complete biography, personal anecdotes from
the author, and dozens of exclusive and rare photos, many of which
have never appeared in print before. The book includes a DVD of
classic video clips of many of the drummers, as well as an MP3 disc
with over 300 tracks. Video clips on the DVD are analyzed and
transcribed in the text, while the MP3s consist of exercises and
etudes from the book recorded at various speeds, that can be looped
for analysis and practice. Drummers featured in this book include
Chick Webb, Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich, Louis Bellson, Kenny Clarke,
Max Roach, Art Blakey, and many more.
