Very good instructional book. Teaches how to immitate the jungle drum & base rhytms, usually played on drum machines, on acustic drumset. Tons of exercises.Good for every level, from beginners to advanced drummers. The attached CD's demonstrate some of the exercises, bonus electronic demos, and play along tracks.

This book has much further applications than just drum-n-bass. I use this book with intermediate students to work on independence, counting, and mixing of patterns. I find this to be a much better rock/funk/etc book than the Funky Primer. Far easier to read as well.

This book has a ton of beats which helped me move beyond mixing up the same two or three ideas I already knew to start learning the jungle beat language. Great ideas on rolls and tuning, too, though I haven't really worked on either yet.

It explains in a very clear way. I liked the way the grooves are constructed and explained.

Totally recomendable for drummes that don't want to stay with the same grooves and give to their music a new taste.
