5.0 out of 5 stars Great, explanatory book for timbales, April 26, 2004

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Changuito: A Master's Approach to the Timbales (Paperback)
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
