Product Description

It’s Your Move, by Dom Famularo with Joe Bergamini, has become a modern classic in the teaching of drumset technique. A workbook designed to instruct drummers in achieving a higher level of speed, control, and endurance, It’s Your Move delves into detail on some of the most important yet misunderstood drumming techniques, including the “free stroke” and the Moeller technique. Using text, diagrams, and drawings, the motions and exercises necessary to master these techniques are clearly explained.

The book is divided into two main sections: The Technique section provides detailed instruction on hand motions and lays out the exercises needed to master them. The Performance Exercises are targeted concepts that address everything from mastery of flams, speed of single strokes, creativity in groove construction, odd meters, soloing on a form, and much more. Many of these concepts are a starting point from which the user can branch off into other targeted Wizdom Media books on the same subject, such as Odd Feelings, The Weaker Side, Pedal Control, and more. Taken as a whole, these concepts are designed to encourage a full range of musical and technical skills in the drummer.

It’s Your Move is about achieving maximum potential as a player. The book gathers questions that have been asked of Dom Famularo during his private teaching career for 30 years, which includes many master classes, clinics, large drum expos, and 40 years of professional playing. The included exercises are vignettes to spark fun and creativity. This book is for your hands and your feet, on the drum pad and the drumset.
