Description:
This book and 2-CD package offers a unique self-teaching method for Afro-Cuban drumming. Mr. Brooks has developed a teaching method that brings together two different learning approaches for Afro-Cuban drumming. The first approach is to learn by way of reading written notation; the second is to learn solely by listening and feeling.
By learning how to read the written "pattern diagrams", you will be able to play and memorize the three types of Afro-Cuban syncopated "expressions" transcribed in this book. Each expression has been recorded, enabling you to hear while you read or play them. They begin with a very simplified drill form of timing and hand coordination exercises, and progress through the three types of expressions in this course. The three types of expression are:
the "Quinto Ride"
the "Quinto Phrase"
the"Quinto Solo"
The sections of this course include
Timekeeping Lines Concept
Timing and Hand Clap Exercises
Hand Coordination and Reading Exercises
Quinto Ride Patterns
Quinto Phrases
Quinto Solo
