completed his extensive study on
the rhythmic elements of the Afro-

advanced instructional drum set
book on Cuban rhythms, covers
the fundamental tools right through
to complex ones for musicians to
practise and develop coordination
and independence on the drum set.
About the only thing that doesn’t
come with this book is an actual
drum set!
As Fidel himself explains, “This work
is the result of many years devoted

musical tradition—with its wide
variety of genres—combined with
the study of classical music, jazz
and contemporary music”.
