Drumming News
LINEAR ROCK DRUMMING is the first educational book from veteran performer/educator John Macaluso. The book focuses on linear drumming and provides many clear, creative, and fun ways to take the concept and use it in real musical situations, and in creating drum parts that work in songs. With engaging concepts like “sonic linear,” “linear triplets,” “pizza snare,” “spaghetti arm,” and “mirror beats,” Macaluso provides mental imagery to go with the notation and help you remember these exciting concepts to make you are more creative, musical, and identifiable drummer. All of the concepts of contemporary progressive drumming are addressed, from odd times to double bass to creative fills and chops.
With a foreword from rock legend Joe Franco (John’s early drum teacher) and extensive video demos of all the concepts, LINEAR ROCK DRUMMING will have you bursting with challenging yet musical and memorable drum parts!
John Macaluso has performed and/or recorded with Yngwie Malmsteen, KRS-One, Symphony X, TNT, James LaBrie, Jennifer Batten, Dee Snider, Uli Jon Roth, Joe Lynn Turner, George Lynch, Riot, and many more. He was the owner of the Music Lab, a successful school in Long Island, New York. John currently resides in Italy.
