Brazilian Coordination For Drumset

In this book/CD pack, Maria Martinez reveals her revolutionary studies for Brazilian drumset coordination. She covers Bossa Nova, Samba and Baiao Ostinatos, 3/4 Bossa Nova/Samba, 7/4 Bossa Nova/Samba, rhythm studies, rhythmic phrases, and more! 

This book will enable you to develop the necessary co-ordination with which to play in a variety of Brazilian musical styles. By combining ostinatos with a series of progressive co-ordination studies, it provides challenging material from drummers at all levels. The accompanying CD contains demo and play-along tracks in the popular Bossa Nova, Samba, Baiao and Partido styles, which are often played in ´Latin Jazz´ settings. Practising with the play=along track will help you get the feel of the rhythmic style and also help you learn to lock in with other musicians.

Through lessons, live performances with a band, and examples of hand-percussion, instructor Maria Martinez seeks to broaden viewer´s understanding of a wide range of Brazilian rhythm techniques, including Baiao, Partido, Bossa Nova, Samba, and Atto styles. Martinez´s skill is fully displayed in several hands-on demos, which stress the importance of coordination, improvisation, and developing a unique connection to the music.

The CD includes 48 full-band tracks.
