About this title

Review

Russ has put together a great drum set concept that will make an excellent reference book for long-term study. My favorite books are those that I can revisit time and time again for creative inspiration and source material for building ideas. Good stuff!!! --David Garibaldi (Tower of Power, Mickey Hart's Planet Drum)

Russell Gold has documented a system that can help you learn how to play rhythms using a great number of approaches. These concepts will help you integrate the rhythms into the flow of your drumming and develop interesting, musical embellishments. --Steve Smith (Journey, Vital Information)

Russ Gold's book Phrasing builds on the ideas of teaching greats like Ted Reed, Alan Dawson, and Joe Morello. In Phrasing, Russ presents a vast and progressive collection of sticking combinations and marries them with simple rhythmic phrases to help students gain control of the instrument and to think more musically. --John Riley, multi-Grammy® award winner, Professor Manhattan School of Music (Vanguard Jazz Orchestra, Bob Mintzer)
