Book Reviews of Buddy Rich's Modern Interpretation Of Snare Drum Rudiments

Book Review: The complete drummer's handbook and oracle.
Summary: 5 Stars

This truly is the complete drummer's handbook - if you are able to play even half of the content of this excellent publication, then you will be a very competent drummer and musician. If you can play it all well - then give up the day job and become a session drummer or play in a high profile, successful band - the sky is the limit!

In my view, Buddy Rich was THE drummer of all time. I took up drumming in 1976 (aged 11 years old) and my drum teacher taught me all I know, via Buddy Rich's Snare Drum Rudiments book. I was taught in a highly structured way via the book, transferring all the techniques from the practice pad to the drum kit. This disciplined up bringing enabled me to play in a whole host of bands, playing many different styles. What makes the book so good, is that it is a highly logical and systematical approach to learning the art of playing drums the correct way. Many people jump onto a drum kit and believe they can play - however this is far from the truth.

The text builds from the point of holding the sticks correctly and the importance of practice pad work, all the way through to a single stroke roll, double roll and paraddidles, right through to advanced rhythmic studies. Importantly, the book continues to stress the key elements of the drummer's responsibilities i.e. maintain a strict tempo and make that band swing!

Any other publications should be considered as a supplement to this book. Of course there are more contemporary and great drummers around, all with their own books for sale e.g. Ginger Baker, Steve Gadd and Billy Cobham, to name, but a few. However, having seen the Buddy Rich Big Band perform on stage on three occasions and meeting him a year or so before his unfortunate death, I believe other drummers get close, but never surpass the talents of the legendary, one and only Buddy Rich.

I recommend you buy this book - it is ridiculous value for money. A drummer of any stature should keep this book on the shelf for regular reference, just like a man of literacy would access the English Oxford Dictionary!
