An excellent drum set method for student drum set players going out into the "real world". I like Jim Riley's straight forward approach. These time patterns and fills simply WORK for each particular style. Not a lot of detail or endless variations. I have several method books that have dozens of variations for the multitude of Latin music styles. These grooves will save your ass and get you started in the right direction until you get more experience with the style. The 2 included CDs are excellent. One has a recording of the drum part and the other has play-a-long tracks. The play-a-long tracks are excellent and the best part. I use these tracks to practice the material in this book and even material in other books. I stumbled upon this book and have used it a great deal since. Highly recommend as a practical method book that will yield immediate results.Product details

Survival Guide for the Modern Drummer A Crash Course in All Musical Styles for Drumset edition by Jim Riley Arts Photography eBooks Reviews
This is avery good all around drum book. Jim covered a lot of ground by demonstrating many different styles of drumming. A working drummer should be able to play all styles including dance, pop, rock, swing, jazz, slow blues, shuffles, ballads, & latin. I use this book with my students. Jim also included drumless tracks to practice with. You get a lot of good stuff here for the price. Definitely recommended for any drummer or teacher!
I’ve only just started to dive into this book and I can already see that it’s one of the most practical, useful tools on the market. Unlike many of the great method books out there, this one covers the foundational grooves in virtually all styles of music you might encounter, and provides play-along tracks and sample drum grooves for all of them. Rock gig on Monday? Jazz Gig on Tuesday? Funk gig on Wednesday? Latin gig on Thursday? Country gig on Friday? Dubstep gig on Saturday? No sweat, it’s all there. (Please, take Sunday off.) The player app lets you download all the audio files for anytime access, no CDs needed. It's a great tool to work on consistency in your time and groove. For example, can you play a "simple" straight 8th note backbeat pop groove, bass drum on 1 and 3, for 4 minutes straight at about 72 BPM and maintain a truly consistent sound and feel? It’s a lot harder than it sounds. Highly recommended!
Wonderful Book! The Backing tracks alone are worth the price of this! Think of this as an encyclopedia of modern drum grooves. I have already used it myself and for my drum set students. This book comes with over 100 backing tracks and audio examples of the grooves being played. The quality of the backing tracks is great and they sound very authentic. I recommend this book for anyone playing drums today!
All great ideas are simple.
Here’s a great idea Tell working drummers exactly what they need to know, and then teach it to them. Simple.
If you work through this book, you can confidently go out and gig/record and be assured that you are prepared for whatever comes your way. The book won't make you a true expert in rock, country, blues, pop, swing, metal, etc., but, it will make you proficient enough to go out and actually work.
The fatal flaw of many drumming books is that they contain endless variations on a theme. For example, in Advanced Techniques for the Modern Drummer, there are numerous exercises that help your coordination and independence, but are not applicable in the "real world." Survival Guide for the Modern Drummer only gives you exercises that you can actually use.
The book also gives you a clear “blueprint” for the things every working drummer needs to know. The most common fills, ghost notes, funk beats, the half time shuffle, the country train beat, basic swing four bar breaks, heavy metal double bass patterns, blues beats – it’s all here in a concise, user friendly format. The two pages on ghost notes alone are worth the price of the book.
This book comes with audio examples and play along tracks for each exercise. With the downloadable software, you can also slow down and speed up the exercises for practice. But, that is just the beginning. There are also numerous YouTube videos with instruction and performance. Also, the book includes charts of the play along tracks using the Nashville Numbering System described in Jim Riley's first book. There is also a Facebook page for the book, where other students trade ideas, videos and tips. Sometimes the author responds too!
I recently attended a three-day drum clinic with Jim Riley. He connects well with his students. He is a gifted instructor with a degree in music education. Foremost, he is a working drummer.
The exercises and tracks in this book are very similar to real songs. We would play and exercise, and he would say, “Who recognizes that one?” The examples in the book teach the set list that every working drummer needs to know.
Only a top country drummer could write this book. Like country music itself, this book is for the workingman. In this case, a working drummer.
Great book written by a great guy. Play alongs are awesome, No note for note transcriptions, just song structure and suggested grooves and fills. Feels like your playing with live musicians in the studio. Percussion tracks substitute for annoying clicks and the included groove CD has everything you need to learn styles that you may not be comfortable or familiar with. Play Alongs alone are well worth the price of admission!!
Really good basic information on key beats and grooves for multiple genres of music, and the recorded play-along tracks were produced with live professional musicians. Very good book for any drummer looking to play different styles. For example, I was never much into country music, but I have regular opportunities to sub in a local country band. Most of the drummers who play with that band are not really country drummers, either, and they play more like rock drummers. This book shows you basic country beats that can be used on most any country song, and Jim Riley certainly knows what he's talking about, as the drummer for country superstars Rascal Flatts. The great thing about the book, though, is that it presents many styles, not just country. You can learn some basic blues, rock, pop, reggae and even Latin beats. It's a great resource for anyone who wants to be a better working drummer.
