In this video
lesson series, we will present selected video excerpts
from Zoro's book and dvd entitled THE COMMANDMENTS
OF R&B
DRUMMING, available
from Alfred
Publishing.
"The Commandments of R&B Drumming" is
a historical and in-depth study of R&B drumming,
from soul to funk to hip-hop.
Topics include practice tips, developing the funky
bass drum and hi-hat, creating and playing with
loops, and what are considered the Ten Commandments
of Soul, Funk, and Hip-Hop (the top ten recordings
from each era). This book and DVD not only pays
homage to the R&B drummers of the past, but
gives the reader a fortune of invaluable information
both in history and playing.
The newly revised 10th anniversary edition book
features updated information and loads of new photos
and album artwork throughout. It includes a play-along
CD featuring various styles of R&B, and also
includes an R&B history tree. 160 pages covering
every imaginable angle, nook, and cranny of R&B!
In the award-winning DVD, Zoro brings his intense
passion for funky music to life with an in-depth
and entertaining look at the history of rhythm & blues
music and drummers. His unique presentation delves
into the evolution of R&B drumming by demonstrating
grooves that span a 100-year timeline, from gospel
and New Orleans, to funk and hip-hop!
