Picking up where Drumset Essentials, Volume 1 leaves off, Peter Erskine covers advanced coordination of the hands and feet, more highly developed beats and rhythmic comping styles, and the challenges associated with playing slow and fast tempos. Fills and solos are examined and discussed in detail, as are brush playing techniques and styles. Large ensemble (big band) and small group playing are discussed, with in-depth instruction regarding the reading and interpretation of drum charts.
