Excellent method to learn, review and practice the rudiments. I played the drums many years ago and I'm able to use this method to relearn and it has been very effective and enjoyable.

Buddy rich the very best there is still today no one can tough his work

Lots and lots of writing in this one. In the middle you start getting into the rudiments. Good stuff. DVDs are a cool addition, but I wish there was a CD!

excellent rudiment book for beginner and intermediate

Just as described.

Great book. Takes students into the drum basics, whithout which it would be hard to become a good drummer.

The book is awesome

Mmm it's ok better if it was buddy teaching you

I am quite new to drumming but this book, by the renowned Buddy Rich, has been immensely useful for my development of Snare Drumming technique. It is comprehensive and authoritative and exceptionally good value. A must for any drummer!

The revised Buddy Rich book, originally published in 1942, has been reformatted & two dvd' added. The material is excellent. Henry Adler's work was of the highest order. There are numerous clips showing Buddy playing, which are of course exciting but they are really just padding as they do not relate directly to the text before or after. The demonstrations by Ted Mackenzie are well presented & clear. He studied with Henry Adler for some time so he has a very good understanding of the method. The interviews with Buddy's family are cheesy. I am sure Ted Mackenzie has a very sincere appreciation of Buddy but I do not think that I can watch those very often. Nice to have the family take part & maybe it would have been better to have had a bit of rehearsal & less 'off the cuff' so that a bit more info. could have been put over rather than wandering around the mulberry bush trying to find something else nice to say about the man.

Rudiments, also Trommelgrundübungen für die Snare kommen aus der Militärmusik und zählen zur Grundausbildung amerikanischer Schlagzeuger.Buddy Rich gilt als Meister der Jazz-Snare. 1942 brachte er mit Hilfe von Henry Adler dieses Standardwerk zum Thema heraus.Diese Ausgabe ist um zwei DVDs ergänzt worden. Auf einer DVD führt der Schlagzeuglehrer Ted MacKenzie diese 119 Seiten Noten vor. Wobei er jeden Einzelschlag bespricht und vorführt, wie sich diese Art des Spiels aus dem Handgelenk heraus durch Sorgfalt und Präzision zum Wirbel entwickelt. Die zweite DVD zeigt Schlagzeugaufnahmen von Buddy Rich in teilweise sehr schlechter Bildqualität. Außerdem ein Interview mit der Familie Rich. Sie ist mehr ein Fan-Artikel.Zwischen dem virtuosen Spiel des Schlagzeuggenies Rich und diesen Grundübungen liegen Welten. Und MacKenzie lässt auch keinen Zweifel daran, dass er nicht im entferntesten Buddy Rich nahe kommt. Aber er verbürgt sich zumindest dafür, dass er die Übungen so vorführt, wie Henry Adler sie seinen Schülern vermittelt hat. Und es soll in den USA tausende Drumlehrer geben, die das Buch weniger authentisch vermitteln. Wie nahe Adlers Noten der Technik von Rich gekommen sind, lässt sich auch nur vermuten. So lautet denn der korrekte Titel: Buddy Rich's modern Interpretation of snare drum rudiments written in Kollaboration with Henry Adler, revised by Ted MacKenzie.

Ho comprato questo libro con DVD perché conoscevo la fama dell'autore e perché ero curioso di conoscere l'eredità di Henry Adler e Buddy Rich...Non sono stato affatto deluso... Il metodo presentato è suddiviso in 2 parti: una parte per lo sviluppo del movimento del polso ed una per il movimento sfruttando il rimbalzo della bacchetta.Sono stato meravigliato ed affascinato sopratutto dalla prima parte, che mi ha rivelato lati (e muscoli doloranti) sconosciuti, nonostante abbia preso lezioni da un maestro diplomato al conservatorio e laureato in Jazz per svariati anni...Per un ottima riuscita del metodo consiglio di seguire il corso come se foste dei veri e propri beginner allo strumento...E sopratutto bisogna dedicare molto tempo alla pratica degli insegnamenti che vengono illustrati. Il metodo è molto lungoe richiede molto tempo prima di portarlo a termine.E' ottimo da accompagnare con gli altri metodi di Ted MacKenzie.
