베스트셀러인 베니 그랩의 The Language of Drumming 레슨DVD의 내용을 고전적인 형태의 일러스트와 형식으로 엮어 놓은 레슨북입니다.
모든 스타일과 레벨의 드러머들에게 추천할 수 있는 이 레슨북에는 드럼셋으로 할 수 있는 표현의 자유로움을 얻기 위한 완벽한 시스템이 담겨있습니다.
그의 드러밍 개념은 모든 사람에게 친숙한 방식, 즉 언어를 배우는 방식과 비슷합니다.
그루브, 필, 독립성 등에 대한 연습 시스템은 리듬의 "글자"와 "단어"들을 조합해서 "문장"을 만들고 "언어"가 되는 방식으로서 초보자나 상급 레벨의 드러머들 모두에게 매우 효과적이고 유용한 방식입니다.
새로운 하이햇 그루브 바리에이션, 다양한 고스트 노트 연습, 3/5/7박 등의 엇박자 리듬 등을 적용하는 방법 등도 설명되어 있습니다.
