All drummers need to practice their rudiments and the various styles of music in which they are involved. But there is another crucial aspect of music not covered by those efforts. George Marsh's landmark book, “Inner Drumming” gives you the missing ingredient: internal awareness of your body as you are playing.
Develop a greater sense of mastery of your body and the drumset at the same time by learning to feel the energy flowing through all four of your limbs as you play.
Beautifully-produced DVD inside the book clearly shows you how to practice each set of exercises in Inner Drumming.
Increase relaxation and remove energy blockages to your personal musical expression by learning the process of “scanning” your four limbs as you play.
Inspired by Tai Chi, yoga, and meditation,Inner Drumming guides you in the process of listening with your arms and legs. This allows both your body and your mind to be involved in the act of making music. You won't regret having discovered this unique approach to musical drumming!
