Drum Instruction. Rock Instruction. Softcover Audio Online. 136 pages. Hal Leonard #6620109. Published by Hal Leonard (HL.6620109).ISBN 9781423433613. UPC: 884088171391. 9x12 inches.
Progressive Rock Drumming explores many of the techniques used by the founding prog drummers and shows how drummers can create their own drumset parts based on these techniques, while also demonstrating how multiple and very different drumset parts can be created for the same music. While this book explores some advanced techniques, it also teaches the reader how to create original and inventive drumset parts without the need to play in a demanding virtuosic style. The book addresses a wide variety of progressive rock styles, including such subgenres as symphonic, classical, fusion, neo-progressive, progressive metal, Rock In Opposition (RIO), and space rock. The package includes access to audio of demo tracks as well as play-along tracks (with and without drums) for nine songs in various prog rock styles. The book includes charts for all of the songs that have written-out drum parts as well as condensed band parts to help one see how the drum part relates to the song, resulting in a very musical approach to progressive rock drumming.

Finally Understanding Prog Drums!
I've always loved progressive rock and this book makes learning its drumming styles incredibly enjoyable. It's comprehensive, covering many subgenres, and the online audio is a game-changer for practicing along. Even without being a virtuosic player, I'm gaining the skills to create cool drum parts and feel like I'm really digging into the genre. A super rewarding experience for a weekend drummer!

Solid Prog Drumming Toolkit
As a working drummer, this book is a practical guide for expanding my progressive rock vocabulary. It covers a broad range of subgenres, which is great for versatility in session work. The ability to create original parts, combined with demo and play-along audio, makes it a time-efficient way to absorb new concepts. While not a gig chart book, it's an essential resource for skill development for serious drummers.

Insightful for Band Dynamics
Though not a traditional vocal coach text, this drumming book offers incredible insight into how complex drum parts shape a progressive rock band's sound. The inclusion of condensed band parts alongside drum charts helps musicians understand the rhythmic interplay and how the drums support the overall arrangement. It's an excellent tool for any band member or coach looking to deepen their understanding of rhythmic collaboration within prog music.
