ALFRED MUSIC - PAD BOOK - INTERNATIONAL EDITION

If you don't have access to your drums regularly  travel a lot  or have neighbors with
sensitive ears  you will already have a PRACTICE PAD. But practicing without a drum kit is
special! To keep your hands agile and dive deeper into EFFECTIVE METHODS that really improve
your pad technique  ANIKA NILLES' PAD BOOK is JUST THE THING! Anika gives plenty of options
WHAT AND HOW to practice on a pad. Practice pads are particularly well suited because they
reduce drumming to one basic sound source. This way you follow a process of continuous
progression in terms of stickings and rudiments  phrasings and rhythm concepts. Her FUNDAMENTAL
WORKOUTS deal with accents  phrasings and stickings in regular and odd note values  mixed
meters  hand independence and polyrhythms on 280 pages. The result is a complete system with
triplets  16th notes  quintuplets  sextuplets and septuplets  which are broken down into
individual steps starting with a very basic layout before moving to more complex rhythms. The
focus is on building up and consolidating fundamentals across all note values  raising
awareness on a feel for time and rhythm  and presentation of many possibilities on how you can
expand acquired skills. Anika also puts together a collection of WARM-UPS which suggest ideas
on how you create your own rhythm patterns out of the technical features in this book. The
deeper meaning underpinning Anika's ideas is always how to be MORE CREATIVE. It is about
working on your weaknesses  improving your strengths  developing new ideas and rhythms for
yourself  or simply looking at familiar things from a different perspective. Back on the DRUM
KIT you will find that you can focus on more specific  musically relevant topics such as sound
orchestration  and dynamics  since the hands  body  and mind have already internalized the
basics practiced on the pad. JUST FUNDAMENTAL!
