Learn to play drum and bass breakbeats on your acoustic drums. With hundreds of notated exercises, your playing will be primed and ready to explore the idiosyncratic soundscape of electronic music production in a live setting. Study classic funk breaks and then learn to manipulate the elements into new grooves and fills. Experiment with new techniques and learn how to sound like you have more than 4 limbs with many examples of useable breaks and steps. If you've ever wanted to play like a machine, expand on the skills of the classic funk drummers, or just challenge yourself with music beyond the usual rock and jazz, Live Drum & Bass can help you get started.
