Fun and informative book, good vocabulary of rhythmic patterns.,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Rhythm Bible (Book & CD) (Paperback)
This is a pretty fun rhythm book. Before I purchased this book, I was searching around for a book to improve on rhythmic skills. This is a good book to start off.
I need to mention that the accompanying CD don't come with the full track of every single rhythm presented in the book, but on every first rhythm pattern on every page. I would definitely encourage music lovers, be it pianist, drummer, guitarist, etc..to purchase this book as it will definitely will improve your rhythm reading. This book is for beginners till advance players. So, it's really a book worth keeping in your shelves !!
