 The “Gotta Stock It” went to two drum set method books by best-selling
author Don Famularo. The Weaker Side, a book aimed at pinpointing the
weaker muscle sets in drumming technique, allows drummers to develop under-used
muscles to cultivate a more balanced ability for controlled movement and a fluid
and consistent sound. Organized for gradual strengthening through daily
practice, all exercises in the book are aimed at improving drummers’ hands and
feet. Fitting hand-in-hand with The Weaker Side, Famularo’s
Eighth-Note Rock and Beyond is a drummer’s first stop for basic rock
music beats broken down into clear and easy variations of eighth and sixteenth
notes. One hundred forty-five exercises, created by Famularo and fellow drummer
Glenn Ceglia, guide players with comprehensive notation that specifies the
counts for each measure. The included CD provides demonstrations as well as
play-along tracks. The perfect duo for determined drummers, The Weaker Sie
and Eighth-Note Rock and Beyond are two “gotta stock”
items.
“I couldn’t have
asked for a better presence at this year’s NAMM show,” commented Alfred’s
Executive Vice President Ron Manus. “We were both honored to be among esteemed
colleagues in the industry and proud to show off our own accomplishments of the
past year. Ultimately, we are about sharing the joy of music with the world. I
am confident that with products of this caliber, we can continue to do just
that.”
