5.0 out of 5 stars
Well written and good to practice with,
By Kevin Hall "www.kevinsticks.com" (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Brazilian Rhythms for Drum Set and Percussion (Paperback)
This is a good book for anyone interested in learning (or adding to their knowledge) Brazilian Rhythms.Easy to follow, the author spends some time explaining the history behind the music, but more time teaching various rhythms. It's good to see the percussion rhythms first and then shown applications to drum set.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent learning resource,

This review is from: Brazilian Rhythms for Drum Set and Percussion (Paperback)
I haven't even gotten to the drum set part yet but I can say that this book is perfect for those who want to learn about Samba Bateria / Batucada. Not only are the fundamentals covered in terms of instruments, basic technique and forms, but some historical background and context for the music is provided, allowing insight into what Samba is about. The CD demonstrates the instruments individually and in the context of the larger rhythmic form, and also helps a lot with pronunciation of the various Portuguese terms.All that being said, even a book/CD as great as this is no substitute for playing with a real Samba Mestre.
5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the Best!,
This review is from: Brazilian Rhythms for Drum Set and Percussion (Paperback)
Brazilian rhythms are hot right now in the music world. From Jazz to Pop, Brazilian influence is taking over. I have particulary always enjoyed Samba and Carnaval rhythms which are two stlyes included in this book. Also included are hand rhythms and sacred/spiritual rhythms which have added an amazing new flavor to my music. The book comes complete with a glossary of Portuguese terms which is essential when studying more about these incredibles beats from Brazil. With the help of the CD I have been able to witness my technique and ability to play Brazilian rhythms increase. Alberto Netto is brilliant, and I can not say enough about this book. It's definitely worth every penny.
