unusual breed and perhaps it is because of this that they make up the most closely knitted community within the music playing world – and for that reason alone, this is a book that will appeal to stick men the world over. “Capturing
drummers on film can be a real challenge,”
explains Phillips.
“Rarely do they come under the spotlight.” Well, Phillips has put that to rights with this book, bringing the spolight on to around 100 drummers, superbly caught in action occupying what rightly labelled ‘the best seat in the house’. A&R MARKETING: 01604 881095
ARTIST: KYLE CREED (ED: CARLIN/LEVENSON)
CLAWHAMMER BANJO MASTER Target: Banjo Target: Drums Comment: A collection of clawhammer banjo tablature as played by Kyle Creed, with modern interpretations by Bob Carlin and Dan Levenson. This book is the first in a series of transcriptions of tunes from old masters that gave definition to clawhammer playing. Each piece is presented in multiple arrangements on the page and the accompanying audio CD – played at a learning tempo close to the written notation, but apparently not exact in all cases.
