A follow-up to the popular first volume, Open-Handed Playing, Vol. 2: A Step Beyond gives you a groundbreaking step-by-step approach to incorporating this cutting-edge style into your playing. By using linear and rudimental approaches, this book will even help a drummer who has always played with crossed hands. This is possible because the presented patterns will be familiar to both right- and left-handed players. This method also provides an incredibly creative and funky set of new tools to build the drumming vocabulary. The included CD features 8 play-along tracks. "This is an interesting and challenging book suitable for the intermediate to advanced player, regardless of their leading hand."  - DRUMMER magazine "This is a great resource that will definitely take your drumming up another notch and help untie knots and bad habits we drummers often develop. Four and a Half Stars!" DRUMscene Magazine "If you've never considered open-handed drumming before, this book offers a very strong argument for it." -Michael Dawson, Modern Drummer

Claus Hessler's Camp Duty Update examines the history of rudimental drumming in Europe and the United States, offering in-depth background information about the various stages of its development. To support the text, the book features traditional musical pieces that can be considered milestones of drumming---some dating back 200 years or more---along with contemporary interpretations of the songs. The accompanying CD provides MP3s of full performance and play-along tracks of the songs at varying speeds, and the appendices in the back of the book include rudimental exercises and reference material. An innovative approach to the study of rudiments, Camp Duty Update presents drummers with a comprehensive understanding of the essential elements in their musical language.
