JIM CHAPIN: MORE SONGS, SOLOS, STORIES
CD - £6.99 inc p&p
Volume two of Jim's wonderful personal archive of
drumming and drum history. Like his previous CD,
this new 75-minute disc captures Jim's inimitable
style, as he sings and plays six of his original
songs with a band, plays five unaccompanied drum
solos, and tells stories like only he can. Jim
discusses more than 30 of the most interesting and
important drummers of the past 75 years. |
Written in the
60's, published in the 70's, Jim's book revolutionized
modern drumset playing for a second time as the book can be
studied in over 10,000 ways! In fact, the combinations are
so imaginative that some say this work predicts the future
of modern drumset playing.
After ten months of
negotiation during 2004, Dom Famularo & Paul Hose
Enterprises Limited re-released Jim Chapin's Advanced Techniques for The
Modern Drummer, Volume 2 across the world! Jim first
introduced this dramatic new concept in drum education back
in the 1970s. The book has a unique and ingenious format
that presents an incredibly wide scope of study with
practical work ranging from relative simplicity to exercises
that may actually anticipate the future.
This book presents a
unique concept in the study of drums. The book is in
three-ring notebook format. The pages are of thick cardstock
that clip into a section where dozens of plastic inlays may
be put over each page to produce an infinite number of
variations on the exercises. The idea is that no two
drummers that study the book will be playing the same
exercises. You create your own program by choosing what
inlay goes over what to create exercise or phrasing to add
to your own repertoire that will be unique to you.
Jim says: "The
format of interchangeable two-line exercises is the salient
feature that sets this book apart from any other. It still
surprises me how many valuable' even useable, combinations
turn up when you juggle the "windowed" cover sheets with
bound in syncopation sheets. I believe that the exercises
here are enough to keep any practicing drummer occupied for
a lifetime - no exaggeration intended - and they only
represent a small percentage of the possibilities. The trick
lies in the selective choosing the portions of the book that
fill the needs of the individual." Jim recommends that
owners of this book don't try and attempt to study it from
cover to cover. The work within is in part based on a
mathematical formula that allows the book to expand in to
well over 10,000 pages! The best approach is to take what
you need from the book as and when you need it.
