description: Art of Boogaloo was written with the beginning to intermediate level drummer in mind. The grooves in this book are in the style of the James Brown drummers of the 60's and 70's but... they are presented here in a contemporary context. The boogaloo beat was the first beat I learned on the drumset, it is still used in all forms of R&amp;B, pop, alternative, rock, blues and jazz. It is in the interpretation that these patterns become diverse and alive. Experiment with dynamics, ghost notes, accents and different levels of swing, use the embellishments as a guide (or starting point) towards new sounds and ideas. There are many books that have traditional transcriptions of this style. This book was written to help the student develop the coordination to play and take them a step further, so that there may be new discoveries born out of tradition. I hope you may find some new and enjoyable sounds here and that these ideas will help you develop your own voice and experience in music.
