DESCRIPTION:
Incredible! Worth the investment for drumming and your body's health. Amazon Customer I couldn't believed that this book even exists so I bought as soon as I saw it and glad that I did.

Playing the drums well requires the skilled use of the entire body. Anatomy of Drumming is both a description of how the body works and a prescription for how to move better. Unfortunately, most books on drumming focus exclusively on what notes should be played, and give little or no attention to the how they should be played. This leaves drummers with a problem. Starting with the mechanics of movement, Anatomy of Drumming takes you through what you need to know about the body and how to use it effectively. When you understand the mechanics of moving and how they apply to the drums, you will know for yourself how techniques work, so you can use them effectively. When you misunderstand technique, you will experience frustration when new techniques aren’t as easy to learn as they should be, limitation in what you can do because the techniques don’t work like they should, and injury when the extra wear and tear caused by bad technique builds up.
