"Who
else wants to have at their
finger tips over 77 of the
most basic and powerful drum
beats that separate the best
drummers from the rest and can
help you land new gigs and
keep the ones you
have?"
Dear Friend,
If you'd like to be known
as a drummer who can play with the best, plus have the confidence that you
can play most styles
of popular music and have the respect of
the musicians you play
with, then this might be the
most important letter you'll
ever read.
Here's why:
Gerard LeBlond wrote the book on basic drum beats called: The Hip-Pocket Guide To Basic Drum Beats for those who want to
If this guide doesn't help you
become a better
drummer I'll buy it back, no
questions asked.
Now, I know you're probably
skeptical. That's normal and
healthy. Let me give you three
good reasons I can back up
what I claim:
Three
Reasons To Believe What I
Say
Reason one: In the course of
my life I have taken drum
lessons from 4 top-notched
drummers over a seven year
stretch. The beats that are in
this guide were collected over
that training period and
represent the best of the best
of basic drum beats.
Reason two: I have played
drums in several garage bands,
school pick-up groups, trios,
quartets, big-bands and in
orchestra pits for theatre
productions and many of the
beats that were used in those
gigs are found in "The
Hip-Pocket Guide To Basic Drum
Beats".
Reason three: This guide was
favorably reviewed by Modern
Drummer Magazine and has sold
world-wide since 1982. I've
seen copies sold on eBay and I
know that Amazon.com regularly
sells the guide. [Click Here To Read The Actual Review.]
Here
is a summary of the
benefits you
receive
-
You'll never be at a loss to play the type of beat for a
certain style that you want to play because the chances are you'll be
able to find the beat you need from the Over 80 Popular Basic
Beats Collected In This
Single Booklet;
-
The beats are organized in one place so there is no need to carry your
beats on loose index cards
and risk losing them or
having them scatter during
performances;
-
4 1/4" X 6" Booklet
Size won't take up valuable
space when you're forced to play in cramped quarters;
-
Fits easily in your pocket
or in your stick
bag so you won't misplace it;
-
Two Beats per Page layout let's you see up to four beats
at one glance
in most double page spreads thereby reducing your
need to flip through pages to get the beat you want;
-
No need to squint because the notation can be read, by
most people with average
eye-sight, at arm's length
without need for
magnifying glass;
-
Two Bar Notation Per
Beat and this Double Bar Notation makes
it easier to see how the
tail end of a beat relates
to the beginning
portion.
- Space to write-in your own favorite beats so
you can customize and organize your own library of personal favorite drum patterns.
Now, you're probably wondering
how and why I can do all
those things.
Let me explain.
This guide is a convenient
reference tool. It contains
the most often used drum beats
that working drummers need.
Whether you plan to play in your
basement, your garage, a
wedding, a party, a school auditorium, a lounge,
a nightclub, a
theater, on a soundstage, in front
of a roaring crowd, a home-made movie,
Don't
take my word for it.
Listen to what our customers
say.

"My parents and I pay per drum
lesson and I've been taking
lessons each week for three
years.
"I've learnt a lot over
that time from my teachers and
I have no regrets.
"Last month
I used some of my allowance to
buy a copy of "The Hip-Pocket
Guide to Basic Drum Beats" and
was really pleased when I
looked at the beats contained
between the two plain looking
covers.
"For the cost of about
half of a single drum lesson I
had an instant collection of
drum beats which are organized
and presented in a handy
little guide.
"I wish I came
across this little book
earlier.
"My advise to
drummers: Get a copy...it's
worth it."
From: An Amazon.com
reviewer

"I would give this book a ten
(10) rating were it not for
the fact that it is not a
pretty book to look at in the
closed position.
"Face it, the
cover is a bland white
background with black
lettering. But...(and this is
a BIG "BUT")
"...the insides of
the book are fantastic. It is
between the covers that you'll
find many useful drum patterns
written out in two bar
measures.
"There are standard
beats and some great funk and
rock patterns that the author
seems to have created.
"I like
my ugly little copy of the
"Hip-Pocket Guide to Basic
Drum Beats" and I bring it
along on all my gigs.
"If you
don't own a copy, borrow one
or buy one. You'll be glad you
did."
From: A reader from Syracuse,
NY

"A couple of years ago I began
teaching basic drum skills to
new students.
"In my search for
a good booklet that could be
used to teach a variety of
drum patterns I happened to
find this little gem called
The Hip-Pocket Guide to Basic
Drum Beats.
"The beats are
clearly presented two to a
page and the notation is well
defined.
"Many of my students
have benefitted from this
little guide and I intend to
keep using it as a teaching
tool until something better is
available."
From: A satisfied owner
of the Guide

"The Hip-Pocket Quide to Basic
Drum Beats is just that.
"It
fits in your hip-pocket and it
contains a bunch of drum
beats.
"The good things about
this little booklet include: - a)
contains a variety of standard
drum beats;
- b) contains a
number of non-standard drum
patterns;
- c) costs less than
one drum lesson.
"On the
negative side the booklet
doesn't have a pretty cover.
But, hey, do you want slick
marketing and no substance? Or
do you want meat and potatoes.
"This booklet is full of
nutritious ideas for the
hungry percussionist."
From: A buyer
of the Hip-Pocket Guide To
Basic Drum Beats.

"This is a little gem of a
reference guide.
"I play bass
guitar and have learnt an
awful lot by focussing on a
randomly chosen beat fromThe
Hip-Pocket Guide to Basic Drum
Beats and playing around it.
"I
highly recommend this guide to
any musician who wishes to
improve his or her musical
appreciation and skills."
From: A
satisfied bass-playing musician.

Warning:
Do NOT Ever
Buy Any Guide To Basic Drum Beats unless it meets the following
4 criteria:
There's a lot of
confusion surrounding the subject of basic drumbeats. I want
to give you 4 criteria or
elements you absolutely,
positively must have in any
solution you obtain:
First: There are plenty of "How To" books
out there for playing the drums. But few of them contain
all of the diverse beats that working drummers need
to have at their finger tips. The Hip-Pocket
Guide to Basic Drum Beats does!
Second: Some music store sales-people will try to sell
you anything just to make a sale. I won't do that to
you.
If this guide isn't something that you want and need. And,
if it doesn't work for you then I won't trick you into
buying it. I wouldn't want to be fooled and I know you
don't want to be tricked into getting something you
can't use, so let's be clear about motivations.
Third: The guide isn't designed to teach you how to read
drum music. You can find other music books
that do that, so unless you already know how to read
drum notation don't buy this booklet yet. Just bookmark
this page and once you know how to read drum music
come back and buy it then. We'll be here for you.
Fourth: Don't buy a "basic drum beats" reference guide unless it contains
these important drum patterns, all are basic
beats that lay a solid foundation for your drumming knowledge: - Blues Beats;
- Shuffle Beats;
- Swing
Beats;
- Waltz Beats;
- Latin-American Beats;
- Rock Beats;
- Polka
Beats;
- Fox Trot; and
- Standard Country Western Beat.
But
that's not all. I want...
