Publisher: Modern Drummer Publications
Series: Modern Drummer Legends

A new 40-page interview which covers Steve's entire career and virtually every band and recording in which he's played as a sideman or a leader including: Jean-Luc Ponty, Ronnie Montrose, Steps Ahead, Vital Information, Mike Stern, Hiromi, the many editions of the band Electric Miles, the tribute gigs playing The Music of Coltrane and The Music of Ornette Coleman. We discuss what it means to be a professional drummer and musician. To help you study how Steve interprets music and creates drum parts, he gave us eight of his own handwritten drum charts. Plus a step-by-step lesson on Indian rhythms and drumming. Also comes with a download component of Steve's drum solo recording The Fabric of Rhythm, with exclusive in-depth explanations of each solo.

For the gear obsessed drummers, Steve gives us a complete rundown of every drum set that he has owned, recorded, and toured with, and hundreds of never-before-seen pictures from his own archive. You will also get over 50 brand new transcriptions. However, LEGENDS transcriptions are not just the notes and rests.

This is not just another drum book, it's Modern Drummer LEGENDS.
