Inspired by Spencer Strand\'s \'Turn It Up & Lay It Down\' series of play-along cds, Steve Kilgallon has written the Double Pedal Metal book and added a play-along cd.

Kilgallon\'s book contains charts along with groove suggestions on various levels, fill variations, and tons of hints and tips.

Learn from heavy drummers
The book also examines and explains the advanced styles and techniques that are being played by heavy drummers such as Jason Bittner (Shadows Fall), Chris Adler (Lamb Of God) and Vinnie Paul (Pantera).

Among the 14 super-heavy tracks on the play-along cd are those from Lars Ulrich (Metallica), Mike Wengren (Disturbed) and Dave Lombardo (Slayer).

Free bonus mp3s
The book and play-along cd are further augmented by studio-quality audio files of the sample beats in the book that are posted on the hudsonmusic.com website.

The free bonus mp3s are available through an access code that is included with the combo pack and are downloadable to computers, iPods and other mp3 devices. When used in combination, the Double Pedal Metal book, companion cd and online tracks provide a complete, integrated, truly comprehensive method for progressive drummers.

Double Pedal Metal is the perfect way for young drummers to get started on developing their feet and hands yet a challenge for seasoned pros; whether they play double pedal or double bass drums.

The Double Pedal Metal Combo Pack is available at drum shops and music stores and carries a suggested retail price of $24.95.
