Great book!
Great book! I used this as a drum instructor. Now that my kids are playing I bought it for them to learn from.

Jim Payne is one of the BEST drum authors out there!
I have said this before in other reviews and I will say it again, everything Jim Payne puts out is just phenominal. His approach to teaching from simple to complex, plus the volume of material and the progressions and styles, makes this book a huge plus for any drummer to own. Even if you are not into funk drumming, you could start out in this book as a rank beginner with little drumset training and progress faster than you ever thought possible. The rhythms make sense, and the new edition has a CD to play along with to help you out. I do not know Jim personally, but I won 3 of his books now, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to any drummer out there.

Berklee recommendation
If you want to learn to play funk, this is it. The book is fantastic and the accompanying CD is a great addition. I am presently taking drumming courses at Berklee college of music and this is one of the books we have to buy for the funk course. Mr. Payne has studied under and played with some of the greatest musicians that ever were. I am very happy with this book and will be using it once I start teaching with own students.
