Description

Author:Steve Smith

This instruction book is a specialized guide to hand technique based on the extensive knowledge and experience of world-renowned drummer Steve Smith.
Steve primarily played with the "traditional grip" for many years, but in recent years he has adopted the "matched grip" as his preferred primary grip.
Why did he leave the grip he had been accustomed to for over 50 years - and the style that suited him as a jazz drummer - and choose the rock-style "matched grip"?
Behind this lies an "advantage" that only someone who has mastered the traditional style could discover.

・4 types of "matched grip"

The matched grips he uses can be divided into the following four types.

Grip 1...The basic "German grip".
Grip 2: Based on Grip 1, this grip allows for a more gentle lift, resulting in a more delicate touch and open sound.
Grip 3: "French grip" with thumb on top.
Grip 4...The Tony Williams Matched Grip, which Steve says is the easiest to change the sound with.

This book provides easy-to-understand explanations of these four grips, using sheet music and video, including how to practice using pads, how to use them effectively on a drum set, and phrasing instructions.

*At the end of the book, there is a code to download the video file or watch it via streaming.
*The accompanying video is over two hours long and its content matches all the lessons in this book.
