The book contains music charts with the specific rhythms played by the cajon, congas, cowbell, bongos, cajita and quijada as well as bass and guitar parts for all the styles of Peruvian music. Then the various rhythms are shown being adapted to the drum set, with or without other percussion instruments playing. The enclosed 85 min.
