With tracks culled from Joe' s 1996 solo album 'Arrival' (which was co-produced by Dom Famularo), 'Arrival Drum Play-Along' provides ten exciting, pro-sounding original tracks, accompanied by transcriptions from Terry Branam and extensive educational text from Joe Bergamini himself.

The book is designed to teach you about many aspects of contemporary playing, and the songs are in different styles leaning towards rock and funk, including heavy rock, funk, rock ballad, pop, and prog rock. Designed to feature the drums, all the charts include fun and challenging rhythmic figures, and some contain solo drum breaks.

Because of this, all the songs are ideal for public performance at recitals, concerts, drum clinics, and similar events. Joe Bergamini designed the package with this in mind, including a cd that contains each track in three different versions: his original album drum performance, the song minus drums with click (for practice and to simulate the in-studio experience), and the song minus drums with no click (for public performance—and to test the user’s accuracy!).

The ballads in the package also contain the track with a soft shaker in place of a click, allowing for a time reference that is more subtle.

Author and Wizdom Media co-president Joe Bergamini says he is xcited that these tracks are coming out for drummers to enjoy:

"These are great songs from 4Front guitarist Zak Rizvi, and they are so much fun for drummers to play. I think this will make great performance material for any drummer or drum school. Although drummers of any level can use and enjoy the book, I think intermediate and advanced level players will get the most out of it."

Wizdom Media continues to provide great instructional books at the right price. At just $13.99, 'Arrival Drum Play-Along' is a fantastic value.
