Book overview

Fundamentals such as clave, patterns, interdependence, "3 against 2", and ostinatos are only some of the tools that are taught in this book. These will allow Afro-Cuban drum set students, percussionists and all musicians who study this book to progressively internalize the concept of this music and incorporate it to their performances. Above all, they will be technically prepared to approach this style without limitations. -Fidel Morales, Master Drummer and Author
