Dreaded Drummer gear, books & music are on the way. Please check back again before long…or after long!
In 2003, Meredith Music Publications and Garwood Whaley published Dominick's book, The Beat of a Different Drummer. In the years since it was published it has become the new standard for "traditional" and "not-so-traditional" rudimental drumming. Three solos have been a part of auditions that won gigs with The Old Guard, numerous pieces have been used for college auditions, a number of rudimental championships have been won and the "not-so-traditional" genre has become a regular on recitals around the globe! Most drummers say, "if you don't own it, you need to!"
"One of the things I am most proud of is the rudiment interpretation pages at the beginning of the book. Many band directors have expressed that it is the most valuable tool they have found in a drum book in many years. I appreciate the support and hope all drummers & teachers enjoy the music as much as I have enjoyed creating it!" Dominick Cuccia
To order, visit my friend, Joe Gillotti at Black River Music.

As a follow up to The Beat of a Different Drummer, Meredith Music created a "greatest hits" book titled The Favorite Solos of Campbell, Cuccia & Pratt. If you want a taste of three of rudimental drumming's top composers this is the book for you! http://www.halleonard.com/product/viewproduct.do?itemid=317152
