Colonnatoa - Inner Rhythms

By: Frank Colonnato
Inner Rhythms presents interesting and challenging etudes for snare drum based on the rhythms of contemporary music, including a variety of time signatures, shifting meters and a full range of dynamics. These studies will help improve reading skills as well as snare drum technique, and will provide insight to the rhythmic demand of modern music. "These etudes are terrific! I'm sure this book will become an important part of the advance studies repertoire. Bravo!" - Vic Firth "Inner Rhythms is balanced and musical, and I find it most complete for the contemporary snare drummer." - Justin DiCioccio

44 new solos to challenge your snare skills. Traveling through almost every time signature you can imagine (individually at first & then all at once!), this new book also entertains shifting meters and a full range of dynamics. The etudes are very musical, and drummers from intermediate to professional will enjoy the pieces presented here. According to Joe Porcaro, "This book should be a part of every drummer's repertoire" - so you know it has to be pretty good! If you're looking some fun new rhythms or a good snare drum book this a good bet. At such a low price, what've you got to lose? 47 pages.
