Book Review: I wanted more practice!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a nice book on how to learn playing drumset. What was wrong is that Michael Miller, despite his interest in old drummers spend too much time talking about them. There are lots of pages which will tell you about the wonderful life they had, but if you are a first step drummer and willing to learn, you'll find booring reading all these words about them. He also gives a list of soundtracks played by the best drummers in the world which may be nice to listen too, but if you are just starting, you'll find them very frustrating, and you'll think that you won't be able to play in the same way they do. The practical parts of the book are very exaustive, and they proceede very slowly making you confident with the exercise which is coming next. If a could suggest something is to take rid of the biography pages and put more exercises.
