Melodic Snare Drum, The - Snare Drum Method

The Melodic Snare Drummer takes a different approach to snare drum solos. It is designed for advanced players with good rudimental reading skills. However, the writing is not inspired by a cadence or drumline march music. Instead, each solo follows the melody, instrumental solos and rhythm section groove from recorded tracks by George Benson. Even though these recordings date back to the mid-1970s, they are classics and provide rhythmically accurate ideas to challenge the reader. They are available on CD or mp3. Be sure to use the original studio recordings.
