Since my first trip to Brazil in 1992 until now, I have seen firsthand the great enthusiasm that Sergio Gomes has for taking his native Brazilian folk rhythms, orchestrating them on the drumset, and sharing this knowledge with students. This book is a concise, easy to follow extension of that enthusiasm. I know it will be invaluable to those of us who love the music of Brazil but still find it mystifying. Thank You Sergio!
