Summary of This Book
This percussion collection with CD offers a practice path rooted in the classical aesthetic, with a clear goal: to advance the percussionist's rhythmic precision, tempo stability, and sound production quality. Created by Jacky Bourbasquet and Claude Gastaldin, it is aimed at those who wish to structure their practice sessions around musical exercises while developing solid reading and listening reflexes.
Throughout the pages, you will find content designed to consolidate essential basics: stroke placement, accent management, sequences of rhythmic cells, dynamic control, and work on consistency. The repertoire and exercises encourage careful articulation and clarity of playing, key points for achieving cleanliness in both fast passages and more spaced rhythms. The writing emphasizes pedagogical effectiveness to transform each study into a true tool for progress.
The CD is a central asset for learning: it provides a listening model, allows verification of phrasing coherence, and refines timing. By alternating reading, metronome work, and guided listening, the percussionist can improve precision, develop autonomy, and strengthen rhythmic memory. A particularly relevant resource for individual practice, audition preparation, or enriching a classical percussion training program.
