The educational pack provides drummers with a new twist on the age old question “What do you get when you mess with the bull?” by offering the musical answer: “You get the horns!”
The fun and challenging new play-along package features 13 original compositions and professionally recorded tracks— minus drums— that pay homage to the great horn bands of the ’70s, like Tower of Power, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Chicago, Earth Wind & Fire, and others.
Throughout \'Messin’ wid da Bull\', Jeff Salem provides a comprehensive look at how to approach funk-style grooves, fills and setting up horn figures. The book presents Easy, Intermediate and Advanced suggestions for grooves and fills as well as fully transcribed charts and abbreviated road maps.
As a bonus, the book contains access codes to a special area of www.hudsonmusic.com, where players can hear Jeff demonstrate various grooves and fills from the book. The free bonus mp3s are downloadable to computers, iPods and other mp3 devices and, when used in combination, the book, companion cd and online tracks provide a complete, integrated way for drummers to improve their playing and understanding of this popular style.
The \'Messin’ wid da Bull\' combo pack is available at leading drum shops and music stores and carries a suggested retail price of $24.95. Hudson Music dvds and books are distributed by Hal Leonard.
