"This book is for anybody who wants to discover the big, wide world of drum fills. You'll find plenty of fill concepts to inspire you and enable you to understand the essential theory behind them so you can create your own drum fills. Step by step, Jost introduces rhythmic concepts that can be used universally on different levels and in every musical situation. He presents orchestration ideas, phrasings, and exercises focusing on dynamics and accents.
