With 'Elements', drummer John Favicchia presents a comprehensive system to improve your drumming vocabulary and improvisational skills.



After presenting the Elements - simple one-beat variations of basic 16th-note and triplet rhythms - John Favicchia shows you how to execute accent figures in any place in the measure, play accents in any desired position combined with double-stroke rolls.



This way you learn to orchestrate all your ideas in more creative ways around the kit, improvise with much more freedom, recognize and execute any given ensemble figure encountered on a chart, and solo around the hits while playing with a band - no matter where the hits fall.



Included is an mp3/data disc jam-packed with examples from the book and play along charts.



'Elements' is now available as a book and mp3/data cd for $19.99.
