In Start Somewhere to Go Somewhere, Nine Inch Nails drummer Ilan Rubin provides a system for taking core drumming concepts such as rudiments and applying variations to them to come up with a full vocabulary of fill and solo ideas for the drumset. The purpose of this book is to accomplish a few things that should be beneficial to every drummer, regardless of skill level or genre, says Rubin. On the macro level, it's meant to show you how creativity can develop and flourish from the more basic elements of drumming, while keeping musicality at the forefront and strengthening your weaker side. On the micro level, it takes a step-by-step approach from warm-up exercises and routines, to applying rudiments to the kit, gaining balance and consistency, and eventually showing the near limitless possibility of mixing up all of the above. In this book, you will learn: · Taking an initial basic idea/sticking/pattern rudiment and systematically notifying it to gain a huge arsenal of ideas based on one concept. · Technique-building exercises to train both hands to equilibrium. · Ways to apply the most important rudiments and stickings to your playing, including diddles, flams, hertas, drags, and more. · A graduated approach to taking each sticking and rudiment from a basic exercise to an orchestrated drumset concept. · Fully ambidextrous/mirrored stickings to develop your limbs equally, whether you play righty, left, or open-handed. · Real-world orchestration ideas for fills solos. · Includes audio examples recorded in Ilan's personal studio.
