( "Jazz Drums" dvd Hal Loenard Publishing ) "POLYRHYTHMS THE MUSICIANS GUIDE" A Review Written by
James Erickson
" Practice Required " January 2, 2008
This book is a wonderful tool for those who are serious about musicianship.
However, unlike most books which spend their lengthy breath trying to lead
you along "12 stupid-simple steps," this book spends its pages with
application. You will not get anything from this book if you just want to read
about polyrhythms. This book is for those who want specific practice on the
subject, and "Polyrhythms: A Musician's Guide" does that very well. "POLYRHYTHMS FOR THE DRUMSET "
is now with: Alfred Publishing ( "Pete I love your book" Cindy Blackman ) "Jazz Drums" DVD

Amazon.com review of "Jazz Drums"
Cyril C. Penn III -
"Great Video, Lots of Information, Highly Recommended. , April 24, 2007
" I really liked this DVD. There are so many instructional DVDs on drums.
What makes this DVD worth watching is that Peter Magadini gives you a good
application of jazz drum techniques and sticking patterns. I don't know
about anyone else, but when I hear good jazz drummers play, I always
wonder what are they doing or how are they getting that musical jazz sound.
And Peter explains these methods in such a 'matter of factly' manner that you
can clearly understand what he is doing. In this DVD he just puts everything
together.

If you want to know how time ratios and polyrhythms work
together
then this will answer many your questions (and will also add
depth to your
own personal time groove) no matter what instrument you play.
