I have been a pro drummer (mostly drumset) for over 50 years, but I always like to keep up with the best material available. This book and CD is very informative in the approach to playing the instrument and getting familiar with the music. As a drum instructor, I highly recommend this material to my students.
A very good book for the student of drumming, particularly timbales. The book is written with a music-reading student in mind, so if you can't read music, this won't help you.However, if you can read music, this will be an invaluable tool to learn the rhythms that comprise much of Latin music (Cascara, Danzon, Mambo, Cha Cha Cha, Mozambique, Pilon, Timba Songo Laye, Conga, 6/8 rhythms). Plus you can learn terms like "abanico" and other terminology of Timbale playing.Next time you groove with a Latin band, and someone yells "play a mambo, or go back down to Cascara", you'll be prepared to know what to do.Great tool! Thanks Changuito and Chuck Silvermann
Pure waste of money. Yes, JLQ is the best timbale player in the world, but it doesn't come out on the book/Cd. His real mastery comes out with what he calls "mama-daddy" or doubles; once you can become proficient at that then you can almost make the timbales talk, but it takes many hours working at it. Doubles, 2 strokes on each hand that is the real mastery of JLQ which really doesn't come out on the book/cd, don't waste your money and space this big book takes up.
The book is in excellent condition. However if you advertise an instructional book and CD as such, don't expect the customer to be satisfied with *just* the book and a 25% refund. An instructional CD is worth AT A LEAST HALF of the total price.
