This book/CD package has been developed so that the beginning to intermediate drummer can practice in a wide range of styles along with all-star musicians Mike Stern on guitar and John Patitucci on bass. The styles covered include straight eighths, shuffle (blues), sixteenth-note feel, hip-hop (jazz funk), pop ballad, reggae (shuffle), and rock. Contains perforated 'road map' charts for each tune.

The best way to practice is to have fun while you learn, and that is exactly what The Ultimate Play-Along series is all about. Every musician has learned by playing along with records, and now with Ultimate Play-Along you can practice with great recorded music as if you were a member of the band! That's because you get each track mixed without your instrument. You also get to hear the music with the featured instrument as well for reference.
