Complete Modern Drum Set
Frank Briggs
Back to Theory & Technique
This book offers challenging material for the intermediate to advanced drummer.
Addressing a multitude of styles, Frank Briggs helps guide your playing to a higher
plane while improving your technique and raising your awareness of cutting edge
concepts such as metric modulation, displaced beats, polyrhythms, and more.
"I believe the more you know about different styles and the inner workings of time
and phrasing, the better your ability to contribute to the music at hand. The clearer
you see the parallels or the common threads that tie these concepts together, the
more freedom you will have to express yourself." - Frank Briggs
