GROOVES DO BRASIL
Cool Brazilian Rhythms for Drumset
by Duda Moura

Grooves do Brasil (literally Grooves of Brazil) is designed to give drummers a great introduction to the unique flavor of Brazilian music. Renowned drummer Duda Moura introduces each style along with native instrument transcriptions and then shows the reader how to apply these grooves around the drumkit. All the examples are clearly notated and demonstrated in real time on the accompanying audio CD by Duda and his band. Each track is presented both with and without the drum part so the student can play along with the band! This book is the perfect companion for drummers looking to expand their current knowledge of Brazilian drumming and a good starting point for those who simply want to know how to play a bossa nova or a samba.
