Advanced Techniques for the Modern Drummer Volume 2 Jim Chapin
The book revolutionised modern drumset playing
Written in the 60's, published in the 70's, Jim's book revolutionized modern drumset playing for a second time as the book can be studied in over 10,000 ways! In fact, the combinations are so imaginative that some say this work predicts the future of modern drumset playing.
After ten months of negotiation during 2004, Dom Famularo & Paul Hose re-released Jim Chapin's Advanced Techniques for The Modern Drummer, Volume 2 across the world! Jim first introduced this dramatic new concept in drum education back in the 1970s. The book has a unique and ingenious format that presents an incredibly wide scope of study with practical work ranging from relative simplicity to exercises that may actually anticipate the future.
This book presents a unique concept in the study of drums. The book is in three-ring notebook format. The pages are of thick cardstock that clip into a section where dozens of plastic inlays may be put over each page to produce an infinite number of variations on the exercises. The idea is that no two drummers that study the book will be playing the same exercises. You create your own program by choosing what inlay goes over what to create exercise or phrasing to add to your own repertoire that will be unique to you.
Jim says: "The format of interchangeable two-line exercises is the salient feature that sets this book apart from any other. It still surprises me how many valuable' even useable, combinations turn up when you juggle the "windowed" cover sheets with bound in syncopation sheets. I believe that the exercises here are enough to keep any practicing drummer occupied for a lifetime - no exaggeration intended - and they only represent a small percentage of the possibilities. The trick lies in the selective choosing the portions of the book that fill the needs of the individual." Jim recommends that owners of this book don't try and attempt to study it from cover to cover. The work within is in part based on a mathematical formula that allows the book to expand in to well over 10,000 pages! The best approach is to take what you need from the book as and when you need it.
