Reviews
"I have been playing and teaching drums for over 30 years. In that time I have both seen and heard Buddy Rich play. During those times I have always been in amazement of Buddy's playing ability. When I got this book I gleaned its contents carefully hoping to learn just some of his playing secrets. My searching was not in vain. Overall the book itself is simple in its teaching terms, that is, Buddy teaches you the rudiments step-by-step. However, I found to my joy, that there are some aspects of the book that are obviously only Buddy's interpretation of the rudiments. For example, one will not find "The Four Stroke Ruff Single Paradiddle" in any listing of the 26 essential rudiments or the 40 complete rudiments. And that is what makes this book stand out among other rudimental drumming books I have used. I have constantly employed many of the book's rudiments in my playing. The book even comes with some of Buddy's "Advanced Rhythmic Studies" for solo work (sticking included!). For the drummer who is just starting out, this book is an excellent introduction to the rudiments; for the drummer who really wants to study *how* Buddy Rich played the rudiments this book is a must; and for the drummer who is looking for a real challenge in not only playing additional rudiments, but who wants to improve their overall snare and drum set playing, fills, and solo work--this book is worth every penny." -nabertpwm
