{"product_id":"rick-latham-advanced-funk-studies-book-2004","title":"Rick Latham Advanced Funk Studies Book","description":"\r\n  \u003cp\u003e\r\n    Advanced Funk Studies, by Rick Latham, is a classic, best-selling drum method book. While focused on the concepts of funk and fusion music, the patterns of this book have wide ranging applications to virtually ALL genre of modern music!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe purpose of this book is to give the advanced drummer some insight into the techniques In­volved in playing today’s Funk and Fusion Music. The patterns in this text are to provide the player with a working knowledge of style and feel to develop his own ideas. The Information within is merely a means to an end.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI have used a “stems up” notation which I think will be helpful in interpreting the patterns, since traditional notation sometimes tends to be confusing. The cassette tape that accompanies this book will serve as an invaluable aid in the realization of the patterns set forth.\u003cbr\u003eMany of the patterns are styled after some of today’s leading funk drummers such as Steve Gadd, Harvey Mason, and David Garibaldi. Others are direct transcriptions from recordings as in­dicated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first section of this book contains exercises which employ various techniques necessary to master the patterns that follow. These exercises will be divided into three types; those dealing with (1) the Hi Hat, (2) the Snare Drum, and (3) the Bass Drum.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany of these patterns will not be mastered in mere minutes. Begin them at a slow tempo, pay­ing close attention to accents and sticking. Remember to always maintain the eveness and flow of the pattern at any tempo. \r\n  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ALFRED PUBLISHING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52053587657005,"sku":"2004","price":27.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0252\/8027\/files\/s2004.jpg?v=1778532160","url":"https:\/\/www.drumland.com\/products\/rick-latham-advanced-funk-studies-book-2004","provider":"Drumland Canada | Official","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
