The holiday break is a great time for shedding! Have you checked out Sam Aliano's book? This is some challenging stuff!

Advanced Groove Concepts is a collection of intermediate to advanced level grooves and patterns applicable to all modern styles of music. The focus of the book is to develop the ability to play varied and sometimes complex patterns between the hands while keeping a solid groove, reminiscent of some of the legendary funk and fusion drummers, all while building the weaker hand into a groove-creating engine.

Available from Hudson Music and Alfred Music
