Book Reviews of Classic Rock Drummers - The Way They Play Series Book/CD (Way They Play, The)
Book Review: A good basic introduction, but not for the true fan
Summary: 3 Stars
While well-written and easy to read, the information about these rock drummers is essentially pretty basic: a brief biography followed by a few words on equipment and style. It's interesting as far as it goes, which is not very far. There's not really enough information to give you any insight into what made these drummers so special.
After finishing this book, I was left wondering how the authors chose which drummers they wrote about. It seems to me that at least a couple pretty influential rock drummers were omitted.
Most importantly, this book contains some information that is just plain wrong. The authors should have done a little more research or a little more fact-checking.
The sample clips on the CD are so short as to be almost useless.
