 Good but not mind-blowing Aug 30, 2005
I'd been looking around for drum books that tapped inside the minds of great drummers. I already own a lot of method books and wanted to improve my mental side of drumming. This book looked like it was exactly waht I wanted. I got it, and spent 2 days before I finished it. I must say, it's very easy reading and each chapter is short so it feels very fast.
However, honestly speaking, its more like just talkiing to Billy Ward. I did get a few things out of this book that changed the way I saw things when I drum, but I guess for the price I paid, I was expecting a little bit more.
This book is inspirational, but don't except to be blown away by it.

 A different kind of drum book... Jan 22, 2005
Most drum books contain lessons, or, at least some lessons and some text. This book is all text, and some "life lessons". Billy Ward gives you the up-front and frank discussion maybe-nobody-ever-gave-you about "making it", practicing, "the business", playing with a clear head (and maybe not so clear band-mates) and more.
I don't think this book will change your drumming life, BUT, if you don't usually read stuff like this I feel sure you will find it interesting. Certainly a lot of little tid-bits of knowledge from the game of "life" as experienced by a musician and drummer who has been in the game a while.
Whay not five stars? Not really sure. I fee like something is missing, but I don;t really know what it is...
