This was one of the first books my drum teacher had me crack open after a 20 year hiatus from the drums (played a bit in high school. got distracted by guitar and hand percussion for a few decades and then came back to drum kit in my mid thirties once I finally had a basement I could set a set up in.) This isnt an easy book to get through and some of the exercises will have you gnashing your teeth but its BEAUTIFUL when the lessons finally sink in and you feel that GROOVE flowing through all four of your limbs. Ive been grinding my way through this book (among a few others like "Stick Control" and "Syncopation") for the last two months and have seen my playing grow by leaps and bounds. Id agree with some of the other reviewers that its not a "beginner" book. and honestly it was probably a bit above my level when I stared digging through it. but its pure meditation and accomplishment going through this thing and learning how to drum with more funk and musicality.Plus it makes my brain hurt.Highly recommend.13 of 13 people found the following review helpful. Collateral Benefits AboundBy W. DentBeyond the stated and obvious benefits of studying the exercises from this book. there are collateral benefits as well. I have found three weeks into faithfully practicing these exercises. that my time feel has gotten cemented. I have always had good time but my pocket has gotten so much deeper since beginning to practice from Future Sounds. Logically it makes sense because we are practicing sixteenth note subdivisions with changing accents and feels on both hands and feet. The aim of course. is to feel these subdivisions and to make these rhythms groove. By so doing. my feel has become so much more natural to the point of getting comments from the audience about the pocket Ive been setting. Ive worked out of various books which are meant to improve the drummers time concepts but none have done me as much good as working from this book. To have great time. youve got to get the whole idea out of your head and into your hands. Great time is felt! You have to feel it to make it happen. These exercises really help. Also. applying the principles from the George Stone Stick Control book help you to play these rhythms so much better. My overall "flow" when playing with the band has been enhanced greatly as a result of practicing Future Sounds exercises. If the book promised nothing more than the things Ive already mentioned. it would be worth the price of admission. Of course. these are the things that ARENT mentioned in the ads for Future Sounds. Suffice it to say that practiced regularly and with commitment. Future Sounds delivers on its promises and then some. Recommended for intermediate to advanced players and to all drummers. especially those who want to get in on David Garibaldis "secrets" of funk drumming.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Great for Any DrummerBy Indy DrummerThis has been a really challenging set of grooves and exercises so far. My only regret is buying the electronic version. I did it for the convenience of using my iPad. which I attach to my hi-hat stand. However. you dont get the CD with the grooves recorded that way. so sometimes its harder to know what the end result *should* sound like. Thats the only reason I didnt give 5 stars. Otherwise. its a great book that will push your playing no matter where you are skill wise.
