"The Weaker Side"
Stephane Chamberland / Dom Famularo
13,- €

The Weaker Side is a one year long daily workout program designed to bring your weaker hand or foot in line with the stronger. By following the program on a daily basis at a rate of one page per week, the emphasis that is given to your weaker limbs in the exercises result in the strengthening of muscles that have up until now been under used. Many study books use figures that are based on using both limbs at the same rate whereas The Weaker Side concentrates on developing the side that needs most work. The exercises can be interpreted in many different ways to create interesting coordination patterns that add to the overall challenge.

"Open Handed Playing - Volume 1"
Clauss Hessler
20,- €

This excellent study book is essential for all those who wish to develop this approach to modern drumset playing that more and more drummers are taking. The book develops the principal of playing with the left hand on the Hi hat and the right on the snare instead of adopting the usual cross handed approach. This concept frees the hands to explore musical patterns that would not otherwise be possible, and also develops independence and coordination to a very advanced level. The book has hundreds of exercises to develop the open handed technique, exploiting the Moeller system to maximize the efficiency of your open handed playing. A CD is included to help you to hear how the exercises should sound.
