A Drummer's Guide to Crafting a Drum Part

With a list of drumming credits that include Paul McCartney and Wings, The Who's rock opera Tommy, and James Brown, Denny Seiwell has contributed his fair share of talent to hit records, TV and film scores, and much more. In What Not to Play! Denny draws on his decades of experience to show novice and accomplished drummers alike how to craft the perfect drum part in any recording or gigging situation, often de-constructing his work on existing recordings (such as "My Love" and "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey") in the process. The book also includes exercises for waking up the hands and tips on interpreting charts and sight-reading.
The included DVD expands on the material as Denny provides both audio and visual examples that will help students in the rewarding experience of crafting a drum part.
