Phil Maturano's Afro Cuban Drumming, an overview for Drumset, is designed to give the drumset player a birds eye view of the Afro Cuban drumming experience. If you've always wanted to get into Latin styles, this is your chance. Phil's attention to detail is fantastic, using two of the most popular styles of Afro-Cuban music, players of every level can learn from the very beginning! Start by seeing and hearing the patterns played on the original; instruments then learn how to adapt everything you see on the drumset, all with close-ups and detailed explanations. Then you will cover a topic rarely explored in this kind of instructional material - how to apply these patterns in a rhythm section! By adding one percussionist at a time, we see and hear the function of the drumset in Afro Cuban music. As everyone knows, there is more to this music than just patterns, to really understand the language of this music Maturano uses his unique system for decoding the phrasing of all African descent music - RTS.

Presenting 3CDs and a 24 page book from the best Cuban music catalogue in the world! We’ve selected over three hours of classic tracks from Cuba’s largest record label, Egrem, the authentic gems from the original artists… the real sound of Cuba!

A two-CD set coming with 30 mostly well-known latin songs from EMI. Tracks performed by "The Latin Cuban Connection" orchestra; they're generally hot, and sometimes sad; but they're enjoyable and listenable. If you like latin music, then you'll like this album also. ~O.D.
