I know, silly question, but bear with me.
I'm a full-time working drummer, having been playing for 20 years, professionally for about 6. I've been through almost every famous book out there, and plenty of less well known ones. I've even written one myself.
What I'm actually asking is, is there something particular to the Master Studies books that I may not have got elsewhere. I've had Stick Control for years, I've studied Chapin's book, the Chaffee books, the Buddy Rich book, the Wilcoxon books... would Master Studies bring anything to the table that any of the above may not?
Basically, I'm looking for something new for a bit of focus on the pad. I've been doing a lot of other drumming things recently, and neglected the pad work, and fancied something new.
What are your thoughts, and recommendations for working with the material?
Cheers,
J
