 duh-duh-duh-duh-deesh is the sound of your thundering double bass December 13, 2007

This book is a superb, and very structured approach to double bass. It keeps the hand stuff simple (for the most part), so you can focus on your feet. The progression in difficulty of the exercises is well-suited to any double bass new-comer - up until the last couple sections, where it curves upwards exponentially into odd-groupings and some tight, technical, exchanges between the handsies and feetsies, which might leave you scratching your head with the bead of your drumstick. br / br /A word of warning: Double bass precision and speed can't be developed overnight (Really? Thanks for the heads up). Don't rush through the exercises at the beginning of the book. As simple as they may seem, they provide an excellent opportunity to develop chops and stamina (at least with standard 16th notes. The early exercises don't touch on 16th note triplets, which, of course, are awesome, and about as metal as it gets).
Great product. January 10, 2007

Great Price. Very educational. Lots of exercises to work on. Would have been nice if it came with a CD so you could hear how the really complicated ones go. Anyway, Great buy. No problems.
Perfect!!! January 4, 2007

Can this book get any better? So many great fills and great beats, that by the time your done with this book, you'll be able to make a bible of double bass beats and fills. I truly recommend you to get this book! This book will teach you triplet feels, eights, sixteens, thirty-seconds, sexlets, and more! THis book is perfect for beginners and intermediate drummers willing to be a GREAT double bass user.
Great book for all skill levels :) May 20, 2006

I really like this book. One, because its mostly excercises and less writting (which is what i was looking for), two, because its easy to understand. Which is good because im not the most skilled drummer really ive only been playing a year now. It really gets your legs practicing. To be honest i havent gotten very far in the book but that is because my legs are so weak i cant seem to do any better then 8th notes for a short time. But thanks to this book my legs are getting stronger and more developed. I really recommend this book for anyone whether you are a begginner or advanced player.

I've worked through just about every other double bass drum book out there and, although the exercises were interesting from a coordination/conditioning standpoint, they did not prepare me to actually play double bass drum patterns in a musical context. I was about to write my own book with exercises I'd developed but then found this book. I thank the authors for saving me the trouble! If you're interested in building double bass drum chops and only want to buy one book...this is it.
