Features:

Narada Michael Walden has blazed a path from the drum chair in one of the most legendary bands of all time to chart-topping success as a producer. As a drummer, solo artist, composer, and producer, Walden has achieved excellence in a career that is unequaled in the music world. In Drumming, Spirit, and Music, author Aubrey Dayle takes an insightful look at Narada's life and work. Part biography, part musical analysis, and written under Walden's supervision, the book includes incredibly detailed transcriptions of Narada's drum parts, educational and historical discussion, and video lessons (by the author) explaining and demonstrating how the parts were played.
