Levier-Drumming in Flow: Concentration, Creativity, and Breathing in Drumming (Online Video Access Included)

Drumming in Flow will improve your drumming through a focus on breathing, getting you into a zone of relaxation, focus, and peak performance on a consistent basis. Author Ray Levier provides specific breathing exercises based on long-established meditation techniques coupled with drumming patterns to teach the focus on the breath. LeVier then delves into modern drum set vocabulary with a fun, exciting and musical series of concepts that can be applied to all styles. These include permutations, linear concepts, voicings, and advanced syncopations, the likes of which can be heard in the playing of Keith Carlock, Vinnie Colaiuta, and others.

Throughout the book are inspirational quotes and messages that will keep you inspired on the path to drumming greatness. The book comes with extensive video demonstrations of the examples.
