Everything you always wanted to know about drumming, but were afraid to ask

I have never seen a book like this before :

"New Orleans Jazz and Second Line Drumming"
by Herlin Riley and Johnny Vidacovich
(comes with a CD that is terrific)
published by Alfred Music
ISBN 0-89724-921-6
USA $25.95

you learn all the secrets of the fabulous new orleans rhythm and all about the people that play it in interviews.

a dvd is now available.

if you are interested in any facet of jazz, rock, R & B, or new orleans music, you should have this book.

if you are a drummer, the book will improve your playing to the nth degree.

Vidacovich is the best drummer in the city, you couldn't learn this much anywhere, unless you came here and stayed a couple of years.

highly recommended.

Thanks for the tip, Mike. This will make an excellent gift for my wife, the drummer.

Best,
Fred
