Format:Paperback
Great book, full of insights from many of the seminal drummers of R & B, funk and soul. A good starting point for any drummer wanting to deepen their knowledge and appreciation of this music, and it gives you many pointers as to where to listen, not only from the discography provided by Mr Payne, but also from some of the interviewees themselves.

This Book is Essential for any Modern Drummer
22 Mar 1999
Format:Paperback
This book is essential for any modern drummer. Plenty of fantastic interviews with the drummers who shaped funk and funky beats, and more than one hundred transcribed grooves so you can follow the style of funk through the years. Every drummer needs this book, no matter what style you play, absolute necessity.

"A truly monumental achievement" Modern Drummer
4 Dec 1998
Format:Paperback
The history of the rhythmic revolution of R & B, funk and soul as told by the drummers themselves: including Clyde Stubblefield, David Garibaldi, Clayton Fillyau, Earl Palmer and Tiger Martin. Fascinating for drummers, other musicians and any fan of American popular music.Jim Payne's newest award winning book includes interviews, discographies, rare photos, transcriptions and an accompanying CD with over 90 drum set rhythms.

By a drummer, for ALL drummers!
19 May 2004
Format:Paperback
Let's face it, drummers like each other! They like to help each other. They like to share with each other as well. And here we have a book about drummers, who talk about their influences, their histories, the groups they were with, their grooves. AND, to top it all off, Jim Payne gives us a number of grooves to listen to and practice with -- some that would be really hard to pick off recordings otherwise.
A tremendous compendium of knowledge about grooves, drummers, history and more -- this is a MUST for any drummers library!
Lastly, I want to add that I own or have seen several of Jim's publications and they are ALL top-notch, well researched and presented works. You cannot go wrong when you want to learn from Jim Payne (and no, I do not know him personally).
