Where was this series when I started drumming? Rich gives you a great summary of the history of metal and the drummers who wrote that history. I love how Rich teaches you about the genre, the history, the drummers, and then he puts you behind your kit learning to play what the masters have created.

This series is amazing. I have been playing drums for over 20 years and am jealous I did not have something like this when I was growing up. It is introducing me to drummers I was not familiar with and music that is a must have for everyone's collection. A great book for teachers and students alike. I can't get enough of these and can hardly wait to see what Rich comes out with next. Nice Work and Keep 'em coming Rich !!!!!

I am an On The Beaten Path repeat customer. I bought the first book a couple of years ago and was hooked. Although there is nothing simple about the drumming in the Metal book, as a twenty-year drummer I appreciate the simple approach to providing a song's main riff along with the background of each musician. I even get a thrill out of who the author chooses to represent each style of music. This book shreds and the accompanying CD makes learning the songs a lot easier. I absolutely recommend this book to any avid metal drummer or fan!

I Love this book !!!

and whats the best thing is that everything you can hear on the cd is in the book. I usually hate books where you have 100 exercises and only 2 are on audio.

the choices of songs are good ranging from beg to advanced.
you guys will love it.


if i had to find any critic , it would be:
ii wish several parts of songs chosen couldve been featured in the book instead of just one little part of each,

waiting for Part 2

HORNS UP \m/

This book was purchased for my 16 year old son who is a drummer. He was very enthusiastic about the book and everything in it. I think he will learn a lot using the music in there. He also enjoys the text about the different musicians.
