Louie Bellson's Books

Actual recordings from the CD "Their Time Was the Greatest!

A complete introduction to all styles of brush playing, this volume includes conventional brush strokes, Latin brushes, special effects, solo exercises, rock beats, and a stereo recording of Louie Bellson demonstrating each example, concluding with a ten-minute drumset solo.

Using the seven lead sheets from the songs on his classic video, The Musical Drummer, Louie discusses and explains the performance skills needed in playing each piece. With an actual drum chart following the lead sheet, the performer can analyze Louie's interpretation of the song. A series of exercises are then presented which help develop the difficult sections of each song. As a special bonus, an introduction to double bass drumming is provided. Double bass drum beginning studies, rudiments and coordination exercises are all introduced.

For eight players plus bass and piano. The great jazz drummer Louie Bellson has composed an original work for percussion ensemble in the true big band style. Instrumentation: standard percussion ensemble instruments with bass and piano, plus extensive solos for drum set, djembe, tubanos, and pandiero.
