Playing a hi-hat splash here and there, on an upbeat or a downbeat, is not too difficult. However, producing a splash at various positions along the beat, and integrating the splash with bass kicks as well as off-beat accents on the snare drum, is a major problem. Splashdown is an in-depth study which deals with this problem. Essentially, it is a study of four-way coordination with hi-hat splashes as the major focus.

Drumsense Volume 1 is aimed at beginners and takes the student through 11 basic rock beats and applies 5 hi hat disciplines, creating 55 rock co-ordinations. In this way, the student is introduced to foundational techniques that any beginner should master. The chapter relating to "fills" shows the student several subdivisions of a 16th note roll, ranging from simple to very syncopated, and gets the student to orchestrate these subdivisions in different ways across the kit, toms, and cymbals. This is done in straight feel, and then a section devoted to shuffle feel. Chapter 3 shows basic rudiments including single and double stroke rolls, 5 - 15 stroke rolls, and paradiddles. Finally, there is a drum solo comprised entirely of beats and fills found within the book itself. Drumsense Volume 1 is regarded by many teachers as the clearest and most contemporary beginner’s book around, with the concepts of phrasing and orchestration forming the basis for the Drumsense Teaching Programme.

Taking Center Stage is the definitive print retrospective and musical documentation of the career of one of the greatest rock drummers of all time, Neil Peart of Rush. Originally conceived as a companion to the groundbreaking 2011 3-disc DVD set of the same name, this book combines astonishingly detailed musical transcriptions, historical writing, instructional text, and a beautiful collection of photographs to create a book that every drummer and every fan of Neil and Rush will want to add to their collection. At the heart of the book are note-for-note musical transcriptions of 17 songs that are included on the Taking Center Stage DVD. These transcriptions are exclusive to this book, since they are taken from the performances on the DVD, documenting how Neil currently approaches the songs. Some of the tracks included are “Tom Sawyer,” “Red Barchetta,” “The Spirit of Radio,” “Free Will,” “Subdivisions,” “Time Stand Still,” “Marathon,” “La Villa Strangiato,” “The Trees,” “Caravan,” “BU2B,” “Far Cry,” and many others. But this is much more than a mere transcription book. The book is divided into chapters corresponding to each and every Rush tour from the time Neil joined the band in 1975, up to the present. Each of these chapters contains extensive text discussing the musical approach of the band at the time, the construction of the drum parts, and Neil's set up. Accompanying this are exquisitely detailed diagrams of each of Neil's drumsets, produced after extensive research into the exact instruments that were used on every tour. Tying everything together is a beautiful collection of dozens of photographs taken over the past 30 years, including exclusive shots from the archives of Fin Costello and Andrew McNauhgtan, which show Neil and his drums in vivid detail. The book also contains color reproductions of just about every drum company advertisement that featured Neil during his career. Written, transcribed, and researched by well-known drummer, author, and educator Joe Bergamini (who also co-produced and appeared in the DVD), and overseen and edited by Neil himself, Taking Center Stage: A Lifetime of Live Performance is the most complete, accurate, and definitive work on Neil Peart's career as a drummer.
