Rhythm & Chops Builders for the Modern Drummer - 80 pages; Timing- und Technique Exercises for Snare Drum, Text engl.

The goal of this book is to help develop, expand and solidify your rhythmic vocabulary, accuracy and comfort level and to build chops on top of that. The rhythm builders are meant to build your rhythmic vocabulary and make you much more comfortable, confident and accurate. The rhythms go from common to obscure, and there are certainly some challenges. As you train your mind, body and musical instinct with new and familiar rhythms through thousands of repetitions, they'll confidently and effortlessly come out in creative ways in the music that you play. The chops builders are an expansion of the exercises found in Bachman's Stick Technique book, although many of the exercises also borrow from the concepts covered in the rhythm builders section of this book.

After 40 years with the New York Philharmonic and more than twenty years teaching at the Juilliard School, Elden "Buster" Bailey, one of the greatest snare drummers and snare drum teachers of all time, has finally written a snare drum book! It's called Wrist Twisters, but it's much more than what the title might suggest. Everyone who has seen it says it is an instant classic. It includes a CD of Buster's playing and a discography of great snare drum performances with the New York Philharmonic. Scott Stevens of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra worked with Buster for more than three years to compile and organize the materials Buster has been gathering for the last forty years. Percussionists everywhere will be forever grateful to Buster and Scott for their efforts. The Introduction is by Christopher Lamb of the New York Philharmonic and Manhattan School of Music.
