Recently Chris Prescott published his first method book on drumming called 'Creative Construction' which contains play-along audio tracks. The book centers on drum part writing and musicianship concepts, aimed at helping young drummers connect logically with their musical counterparts. His book piqued the interest of Modern Drummer editors and he was commissioned for an ongoing series through the 2011 publications.



Pinback remains his musical focus and he and the band are in the middle of recording their 5th full-length album slated for a 2012 release on Temporary Residence Ltd. Their two previous albums sold around 100,000 copies each and they are anticipating a strong response to the upcoming album as well. The band just returned from a successful headlining tour of Europe, UK and Russia and are taking a few months off before they begin touring to support the new record.
