Ritmos De Cuba Cuban Rhythms For Percussion And Drumset Book & Cd

This book helps to overcome the various obstacles and difficulties drummers and multi-percussionists from the four corners of the earth have had to face in view of their lack of knowledge about Cuban rhythms: Step by step, it offers---in a very skillful and up-to-date manner---a compilation of polyrhythmic transcriptions of pieces performed by most of the existing Cuban music ensembles featuring a percussion section. In doing so, it gives a novel and extraordinary kind of survey of our Cuban culture, a survey that could be compared to a "Concise Atlas of Cuban Rhythms."
