Gregg Bissonette has carved an impressive niche as an outstanding
all-round drummer equally at home with David Lee Roth and Joe Satriani
as with Frank Gambale, Toto and Don Henley. In this unique 2-disc set
Bissonette delves into his years of experience to show you how to be a
more musical and versatile drummer.
Ten stylistically diverse
original songs that feature some of the world's finest musicians are
performed and discussed in detail. Gregg uses these as examples to
cover issues as diverse as:
- R'n'B Funk, Heavy Rock, Pop Rock and Afro-Cuban styles
- Elvin Jones-type Small Swing
- Beat Displacement
- Using rudiments
- Keeping a positive attitude
- Cool fill ideas
- Fitting the right parts to songs
- Big Band drumming and articulation
- Warming up and cooling down
- Auditioning
The
special Camera Option allows you to control the camera that moves above
the drums at any point during the performance. Three band tunes are
offered with a double-inset edit that allows you to watch Gregg's bass
drum part throughout. Full notation for all musical examples are
included as PDF files, along with a bonus photo gallery.
