'Classic House Grooves' brings you all the speaker-pounding elements inspired by twisted' Old School House. Packed with pumpin' funky basslines, jackin' drum beats, kick-free workouts, Afro-Tribal percussions, classic chord and Rhodes riffs, Soulful pianos, ready-to-roll synths and slammin' guitars, this collection is ready to blow.

Rhythmic Grooves thoroughly examines how rhythmic patterns are constructed, executed and applied to various styles of music. This intensive study program will turn your whole understanding of rhythm right-side up. You'll start at ground zero "playing drums" on the guitar and learning how to get "in the pocket" and stay there. You'll progress into the "ring/dead" technique with a variety of right-hand picking combinations.

Unlike any other how-to-play book available, this book's method is based on a style of playing called "linear drumming," which means playing one note at a time. Instead of having to learn separate parts for hands and feet and then layering them on top of each other, the student only needs to learn a single pattern that moves note by note from limb to limb.

You don't need a drumset to lay down a groove. All you need is one drum. It can be a djembe, a conga, or anything else where you can fit both your hands on the drumhead. Whether your goal is to play in a band, jam in the park, play in a church group, or just drum along with your favorite CDs, this book will show you how, step by step.
