Advanced drum grooves offers an incredibly versatile collection of rhythms and ideas to be realized on the drumset and to live out in the most important areas of drum art.
From uptempo beats and double bass drum grooves from the metal genre to swing, jazz and brushes to Latin American music like Cha-Cha-Cha, Songo, Mambo, Guaguanco/Rumba, Mozambique, Reggae or Afro-Cuban 6/8. Brazilian samba rhythms like Bossa Nova, Batucada, Baião, Partido Alto and Maracatu are represented as well as a breakbeat/drum'n'bass chapter, which offers the possibility to realize modern electronic beats on drums.
If you always wanted to know what you can play in odd bars like 3/4, 5/4, 7/4, 5/8, 7/8 or 9/8, you will find a large selection of rhythms and sound examples as well as the corresponding playalongs. Including an extensive collection of the official rudiments and their possible distributions on the drumset as well as the chapter about accents (in sixteenths, triplets or the corresponding grooves) this work contains a huge range of rhythms and practice concepts, which form a logical continuation of the basic contents of Sven Helbig's first textbook "Das Drumset" (NOT0009975-000).
On the two enclosed CDs you can listen to a lot of groove examples of the different chapters (recorded live) and also practice almost all pages of the book musically with corresponding songs at different speeds with the second CD (packed with groove alongs), which increases the fun and learning factor even more.
