We're excited to bring
you a taste of Scott Johnson's newest book & DVD,
“PROGRESSION: 15 Solos for the Contemporary
Rudimental Drummer!”
The world has changed a lot in
the past 40 years – from vinyl to tape
to
disc – and
today’s rudimental drumming vocabulary
has dramatically changed as well!
Rudiments
have evolved from learning a standard list to
infinite possibilities. Rhythmic understanding
has progressed from basic 8ths & 16ths to Odd
Meters, 5’s and 7’s.
Tempos
and dynamic control have advanced to the extremes.
Today’s rudimental
drummer needs to learn more than a handful of
rudiments to be successful – he or she
needs to be exposed to today’s contemporary
literature.
With over 40 years of performing
and teaching at the highest levels of marching
percussion, Scott rolls his vast experience into
this collection of fifteen graduated solos –
which will take your playing from a solid foundation
to the cutting edge of contemporary rudimental
drumming. |
