AMA Verlag 101 Drum Solos

Solos, with their rousing character, create a good mood and make every piece of music sophisticated and varied. No matter, or hectic, turbulent, wild, violent and rebellious as well as calm and gentle rhythms - they are a significant part of the demanding musical design. But solo playing needs to be practiced and technically perfected. For this reason, Alexander Kästli, international live, studio drummer and percussionist, music teacher, composer and author, creates 101 Drum Solos, a work that paves the way to good and versatile drumming through a clever teaching concept.

The method is kept very easy and understandable, as it does without long texts and a tiring theory section. The various solos are limited to one page and are accordingly quick and easy to learn.
