作者简介
Kevin Mendes is a professional drummer based out of Toronto, Canada. The first volume in this series is dedicated to teaching the fundamentals of drumming with clear "how-to" instructions, that will give the reader a complete understanding of what it means to be a good, musical drummer.
"My personal philosophy with music, drumming and life in general is that less is more. I'm usually more attracted to music that is focused around a well crafted song and I'm most inspired by musicians that have the intuition and humility to play a simple part that feels and sounds perfect for the song. I try to teach all of my students with simplicity in mind and encourage the same musical sensitivity from the very beginning."
