About this title

Review:

"In Cuba and outside of Cuba, drummers are mixing regular drums with percussion instruments. This book gives you a good starting point to be able, just like them, but it will challenge you seriously . . . resulting in a drummer that sounds as a two-in-one drummer."

(by Mark Eeftens in Slagwerkkrant, July/August 2014 - translated by Rene van der Stel of DrummerCafe)

"The book walks readers through coordination steps, progressing to a variety of grooves illuminated by helpful commentary. The accompanying DVD is packed with QuickTime videos featuring Reyes demonstrating patterns, along with bonus interviews and improvisations. Above all, the authors stress the development of right-side/left-side awareness. Even if you never adapt the two-in-one format, you'll find that this package will enhance your independence."

(by Jeff Potter in Modern Drummer, August 2014)

"This book is an excellent entry into a new world of drumset performance. With its logical approach and wonderful demonstration DVD, it will be an effective tool for many interested students."

(by Tom Morgan in Percussive Notes, July 2014)
