After ten years of study the second book for afrobeat is now completed! This method provides a comprehensive collection of original technical studies designed to help drummers achieve the perfect flow with their playing.
The book combines practicing tecniques from classic Western drum methods such as Reed, Riley and Chaffee systems with West African rhythmic thinking derived from conversations I've had with Baba Allen and other African musicians.
Some headlines that coversthe spesific issues:
- "Anti back-beat" drumming
- Improving weak hand tecnique
- Hi-hat foot
- Syncopation between both hands
- "Multi-syncopation" exercises
- Play-along tracks (totaly analog-original tracks, no digital!)
This all designed to give players an edge in studio or on stage.
I'm sure this new material will be a great asset for any drummer looking to expand their knowledge within Afrobeat, just like Baba Allen said
"There is no end!"
