For the first time in print, Hudson Music has taken lessons from the eBooks contained on their award-winning dvds and compiled them into a book/dvd package for drummers of all styles.

Contents
'Lessons with the Hudson Greats, Vol. 1' contains note-for-note transcriptions of many of the key exercises, grooves, fills, and concepts performed and taught by some of the greatest drummers in the world, creating a workbook that will improve your playing on just about every front.

Concepts cover all the bases, including hand and foot technique builders, odd-time patterns, jazz time and comping concepts, fill ideas from basic to extremely advanced, groove creativity ideas, funk patterns including odd linear groupings, and more.

Featured artists
Included in this package are drumming greats Jason Bittner, John Blackwell, Keith Carlock, David Garibaldi, plus all the artists from the Modern Drummer Festival 2008: Will Calhoun, Leon "Ndugu" Chancler, Gavin Harrison, Simon Phillips, Thomas Pridgen, Dafnis Prieto, Derek Roddy, Todd Sucherman, Bill Stewart, and Billy Ward.

Hudson Senior Drum Editor Joe Bergamini says he hopes this book serves a few different purposes:

"It is a companion workbook to all of our dvds, presenting the eBooks in an attractive new format that can reside in your library and be referred to whenever working with any of the dvds. It is also an incredible stand-alone product that allows you a glimpse into the key concepts of all the amazing players contained herein. (...) Finally, we hope that working from a book/dvd package such as this one might allow you to gain inspiration and knowledge about the work of some of the drummers that perhaps you currently don't know very much about."

A second book/dvd package, 'Lessons with the Hudson Greats, Vol. 2', featuring different artists, will be released later in 2013.
