Start Somewhere to Go Somewhere (book & Audio Online)

Publisher: Hudson Music
Series: Percussion

In Start Somewhere to Go Somewhere, Nine Inch Nails drummer Ilan Rubin provides a system for taking core drumming concepts such as rudiments and applying variations to them to come up with a full vocabulary of fill and solo ideas for the drumset.

In this book, you will learn:
• Taking an initial basic idea/sticking/pattern rudiment and systematically notifying it to gain a huge arsenal of ideas based on one concept.

• Technique-building exercises to train both hands to equilibrium.

• Ways to apply the most important rudiments and stickings to your playing, including diddles, flams, hertas, drags, and more.

• A graduated approach to taking each sticking and rudiment from a basic exercise to an orchestrated drumset concept.

• Fully ambidextrous/mirrored stickings to develop your limbs equally, whether you play righty, left, or open-handed.

• Real-world orchestration ideas for fills solos.

• Includes audio examples recorded in Ilan's personal studio.
