Jacques P���pin's Complete Techniques
$24.95
the other reviews cover what is in the book quite well
one way to describe the approach of this book is by analogy to building a house:
this book would tell you how to cut, hammer, sheet rock and all that but not how to design or decorate the house..... this doesn't get into flavors, seasoning and menus but it is great on how to prepare that fish or chicken or whatever, the instructions are clear and reliable

Ginger Baker: Master Drum Technique
$24.95
I'm not the most experienced drummer in the world, but I have watched Ginger Baker for some time. He is just a interesting as John Bonham or Mick Fleetwood etc. You will appreciate the lessons from this video if you are a serious rock drummer. Cream set all in motion and this is the "MAN" who did it on the drums. Lots of beginner rudiments (man that will sink it), really, you can see
why you need to practice and use them. I've seen alot of videos where the instructor was afraid to mention rudiments for fear we would all run off and hide. Well unfortuneately if you dont spend the time practicing them, you lose. Great video get it, practice it, play it live for your friends,
who knows maybe it will be the difference in your attitude (about play)?
