"When I was studying drums and percussion in college, Dave Lewitt was like a living legend to me. Watching Dave play was like watching some kind of a mad scientist or sorcerer on top of a mountain conjuring thunder and lightning! Always playing on a unique setup, Dave plays with a sense of orchestration. With this book he helps us explore countless ways to orchestrate funk grooves between the bass and snare. With over 600 grooves and ideas, this is a treasure trove for the intermediate drummer and beyond!" -Michael "Leroy" Bram, drummer for Jason Mraz
