5.0 out of 5 stars
a masterpiece of funk drumming analysis,
By george Lawrence (Nashville, TN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Funky Beat (Manhattan Music Publications) (Paperback)
I use this book extensively with my private students and consider it one of the best drumset instruction books ever written. The book explains the seminal James Brown funk grooves and how to build upon them, the Tower Of Power grooves that Garibaldi made famous with that band, and has eight funk-fusion music tracks with and without drums, charts of those songs and developmental analysis of the different grooves used in those songs. The drum solo alone on the CD is worth the price of admission. There is also a companion video called "Tower of Groove" that shows Garibaldi and a very tight band playing these songs.
