Description

The Zen Art of Drumming

This book is not a textbook or a “how to” manual. There are hundreds, if not thousands of those already existing that provide detailed instruction about how to play various drums and drum styles. On the other hand, this book is intended to offer you, the reader, a better insight into the world of percussion and drumming. It is a guide that will provide background information, historical context and significance, observations, advice, stories, suggestions, tips, and a unique Artist’s perspective. You may not agree with every statement or opinion, but the information contained within these pages is valuable and will assist some in their approach to drumming and enlighten others about a subject of interest.
