Divided into two series, the “Composers” and “Masterworks,” these skillful arrangements capture the essence of the original composition in easy-to-play versions that stay faithful to the original musical intent. Each volume also contains biographical information on the composers.

A NEW WAY OF GROOVIN’
Combining Jazz and Rumba for a New Sound on the Drumset
by Ignacio Berroa
Author of the highly successful Groovin’ in Clave (MU5), renowned Cuban Drummer Ignacio Berroa’s
latest book with CD expands on the concepts introduced in the earlier book. The object this time is
to integrate aspects of Jazz-Style drumming with the Afro-Cuban inflected rock and funk rhythms that
were explored in Groovin’ in Clave. By combining elements from both books, the player will be able
to move freely among several styles of music – Jazz, Rock, Funk and Latin – adding an exciting depth
and variety to the playing by letting the musical styles be both separate and fused, depending on the
musical situation and the drummer’s own inspiration. The CD is designed to demonstrate the various
grooves in the book and includes play-along songs that give the player chances to use the grooves in
context and become a part of a great sounding band.
