Afro-Caribbean & Brazilian Rhythms for the Drums

Adriano Dos Santos, Christopher J. Lacinak, Frank Katz, Kim Plainfield, Maciek Schejbal, Memo Acevedo

This book with CDs is about the wonderfully rich music which is derived from the fusion of the cultures of West-Africa, Europe and the indigenous Indian cultures of the Caribbean region. Most of the rhythms presented here have evolved from their original multiple percussion origins, and have been applied to the drum set, while others were created specially for the drum set. For each style sample exercise, the CD contains a performance demo and then a version without the drums for you to play-along. If you want to be a well-rounded, well-trained musician, this publication provides the information and exercises that will give you a strong musical foundation in the important genres.
