He is giving several drum clinics, including one on the 13th of October at the Drum Tech in London, United Kingdom, and on 22nd of October at Planet Music in La Ciega, Albacete.
Essential Double Bass Drumming is a method that, as its name suggests, is essential not just for double bass drumming technique but also for understanding many of the polyrhythms studied in it and for achieving psycho-motor independence in the lower limbs.
Its 64 pages cover various combinations, all for double bass drumming, in which results are achieved that can be applied to the hi-hat or the clave with the left foot. It is divided into three sections, Easy, Mid and High, and each is broken down into 7, 6 and 7 exercises respectively, arranged in a graded manner.
It comes with an audio CD containing 52 tracks of examples, and explanations concerning foot positions, pedal calibration, setting up the bass drums and so on.
In other news: to celebrate the second Anniversary of Batacas.Com, Alfred Berengena will join Pedro Barceló, Xavi Reija and Carlos Expósito for some more exiting drum clinics.
On September 23, 24 and 25, 2005 the musicians will gather at the International Education Center \"El Jarama\" Talamanca del Jarama in Madrid.
Alfred Berengena is known as drummer with extreme metallers Baalphegor among others.
