Peter Murray's new book, which scored an A+ rating from Bass Player magazine, provides bassists with everything they need to know to play effectively, helping them master the basics, and then explore what's beyond. Essential to any bass player! Once in a while, a book comes along that stands head and shoulders above the endless rows of 'method books' that fill the racks in music stores. This is one of those exceptional books. If you're a beginner, study of Murray's method could save you from countless hours of frustration (and possibly injury) by showing you the correct way to use you hands right from the start; if you're a more advanced player, it should help you to refine your ability and overcome the technical barriers that can block further development. Bravo! - Jim Roberts, Bass Player magazine

This three-disc, seven-hour set presents a cutting-edge approach to 21st-century drumming with particular emphasis on coordination and foot technique.

In a step-by-step approach that starts slowly and simply, Thomas lays out a clear and concise method for working up to the kinds of fast, complex and challenging beats that have pushed the boundaries of contemporary Rock, Metal and Fusion music.

Sections Include:

• Advanced Foot-Technique Exercises - Covers the use of single and double-stroke patterns, flam and double-stroke accent patterns and exercises, along with a series of rudimental workouts that show how Thomas has developed the technique for playing multi-pedal orchestrations (M.P.O.s) and foot ostinatos.
• Contemporary Coordination Matrix - Thomas reveals his 'secret formula,' a method for practicing contemporary coordination and independence in the most efficient and time-saving manner. He breaks down his system so that everyone can see how it’s done.
• Modern Playing Concepts - Thomas demonstrates how to apply these 21st-Century drumming concepts to real-life playing situations, showing examples of hardcore-drumming techniques in contemporary musical styles as well as several tour de force drum solos.
