New Drum Method book

I wanted to let everyone know here at DW that my new book is out. It is called Elements and is available on Alfred Music

With Elements, drummer John Favicchia presents a comprehensive system to improve your drumming vocabulary and improvisational skills. After presenting the elements—one-beat variations of basic sixteenth-note and triplet rhythms—Favicchia shows you how to execute accent figures in any place in the measure, play accents in any desired position combined with double-stroke rolls, orchestrate all your ideas in more creative ways around the kit, improvise with much more freedom, recognize and execute any given ensemble figure encountered on a chart, solo around the hits while playing with a band (no matter where the hits fall), and more.

Included is an MP3/data disc jam-packed with examples from the book and play-along charts.

For those unfamiliar with John, please go check him out. His name should be at the head of every one of those "underrated drummer" threads. He is truly a great player, with great technique, groove and feel and he does some coordination stuff that just confuses my mind. Also, a great guy! I have not yet checked out his book but it is one I will not hesitate to add to my collection.
