This review is from: Drummer's Guide to Fills Book & CD (National Guitar Workshop) (Paperback)
I'm a professional guitarist who's always dabbled in drums, and this year decided to get serious and really try to learn to play. I work in a music store and get to see lots of books, and talk to a lot of players. I saw this book on the rack and it looked like something I could really use, and use it I have, non stop for over four months now. Fills of every kind are covered sequentially and logically. Rock fills, triplet type, groove fills, jazz, flams, rudiments, orchestrating stickings, you name it. Fills are given for one beat, two, three and full measure. I spent weeks on the co-ordination studies alone, and was able to apply them as fills right off the bat.
As I've been learning new beats from tunes and other books, I practice them and then try inserting the fills. It's been fun, and enormously helpful. I'd recommend this book to drummers at any level, although a lot of this is probably stuff advanced players have done. For beginners and intermediates like myself, it will help get you better, fast. I'll be working with it for a long time. (The other books I've settled on are Realistic Rock, Mel Bay's Complete Modern Drum Set, and The Art of Bop Drumming, all well reviewed).
