I learned with this book! Got my 1st garage band audition in 1989. We played “Sweet Child O Mine”. Set up my kit lefty and rocked out with my mini-sticks. Bass player told me to add a fill and I was like “You mean a mini-solo?” 10 minutes later I was waiting in the driveway for Mom to pick me up. Those guys didn’t know crap. (My solo career was short lived because you can only play Wipe Out once before folks want to beat you up!) mom? Come and get me.

3:31. Exactly. My jazz experience is minimal, but in college, the one year I played in the jazz ensemble, I learned that it was the bass that set the beat, style, and tempo. The drums were there for accent and color….and we had a phenomenal jazz drummer in Bobby Adams. Oddly enough, I can’t remember the name of the bassist. LOL. (By the way, my year in jazz ensemble was way back in 1981.)

@andramoie 10 ай бұрын

I'd argue that the interaction between bass and drum differ for jazz vs rock. In jazz, the bass is the time keeper and defines rhythmic structure, and the drum adds color, but for rock it's often the other way around. I guess that's why in Jazz having a bass but no drums is more common than the other way around, while in rock there are duos of drum and guitar, but bass and no drums is pretty much unheard of.

I used to work for Scholastic Books, Inc. I am a drummer. What a disappointment this book is. Usually, we would have many ppl contributing to the writing, one editor, and one fact checker. I'm guessing the editor on this project wasn't a drummer, but probably had just a music background. Btw, did you catch them saying Pink Floyd's _Money_ was in FIVE?!🤣🤣 Also, is that Chad Wackerman on the cover???

@Plantbosses 11 ай бұрын

Wow! this book was so inspirational that I learned drums too! Although, my sticks were about twice as big as I would've liked them, and my snare drum actually worked. It was so sad, but I went with it, even holding the sticks "correctly". After getting rejected by at least 50 bands because I should "stop playing f***ing wipeout the entire time and adding a drum solo every 8 measures", and also completely skipping school entirely (especially 6th grade band class), I was allowed into a band made up of entirely 9 year-olds. I couldn't play any of the music given to me because it was too refined and the notes actually lined up. I could tell my mini-solos (fills for uncultured people) really stood out because everyone stopped playing entirely. I don't know if they liked my solos or my epic drum head better. Earlier today, my dad left for some milk. I don't know why, but I think it's so I can get stronger bones to improve my drumming. So, overall, I loved that book so much, and it really improved my life.

I will agree that Ringo may not have been the greatest rock drummer, but dammit….he was the drummer for the freaking Beatles!!! He was picked because he has a better beat then Stu Best. Debatable yes, but Ringo’s position in the rock world cannot be denied.

@ofsinope 11 ай бұрын

Ringo beat out Stu Best making him AT WORST the second-worst drummer in the world! Just kidding, I love Ringo, and I would argue he was absolutely the key to the band's success. Yes, the others are legendary songwriters and musicians in their own right, but the band wasn't called "The Songwritingles."

Ok, I'll be that guy and defend one part of this abomination. This was likely designed for kids in elementary school. The smaller stick size is likely more appropriate for their smaller hands. They are comically small for us, but I bet a kid in their target age group would find them easier to hold (and use with real instruction) than full size sticks.
