Fantastic Hands offers you many ways to achieve greater dexterity and control of the drum sticks and it will help any drummer playing in any style. It contains 515 carefully modulated exercises representing the root position and all of the inversions of the 5 different types of paradiddles (The Paradiddle Paradigm). It also shows 40 different ways (dexterity systems) to play all of these exercises—each one superimposed over and working with the paradiddle paradigm to push your control and dexterity farther. These systems cover the following aspects of snare drumming: Rolls (open and buzz), Flams, Drags, Paradiddles, Accents, Dead Strokes, Cheeses, Flammed Buzzes and combinations thereof. Each of these 40 different dexterity systems feels differently to your hands, giving you essentially a whole new set of exercises—this amounts to well over 20,000 exercises. It’s like having 40 books in one! Also included are numerous suggestions on how to practice the patterns. Part Two of Fantastic Hands shows you creative ways to put different exercises from Part One together to spur on your creativity and help you with IDEA GENERATION for drum solos and fills—And they are FUN to play! For drum set players, we have added many foot underlays that can be applied to the patterns to help you with four limb fluency and coordination. At the end of this book is a special appendix of essential snare drum techniques to supplement the control and dexterity exercises of Part One and Part Two, that every serious drummer should work on to attain ultimate stick control and intuitive touch.

Flam Pathways to Drumming Fluency (Volume 2 of Fantastic Hands) gives you all the flams you'll ever need---the FP matrix yields tens of thousands of different exercises. Working on these will heighten your drumming fluency and give you soft, flexible hands. The multi-tasking of playing flam patterns over multiple stickings pushes you further faster! Section Two contains more flam hybrids than you can shake a stick at. These work your fluency from yet another angle and if you exhaust all possible stickings on each one, you will take your hands to some amazing places. Section Three has you creating your own flam patterns from prewritten rhythms for more creativity and rhythmic variety. This book can be practiced with the feet on a double pedal as Fantastic Feet Volume 3! The goal here is complete drumming fluency so that you can serve the music you play at the drums more deeply and with less effort. Enjoy your drumming journey!

Finalist 2018 New Mexico-Arizona Book Awards – Arts Books Steve Fitch is among America’s most well-known chroniclers of the American West since the days of Easy Rider. He has been photographing examples of the West’s changing vernacular landscape and vanishing roadside landmarks for more than 40 years. In his new book, he presents both the ancient and the modern by way of petroglyphs, neon motel signs and hand-painted business signs, drive-in movie theater screens, and radio and cell towers. All of them are now endangered because of the advent of the Interstate Highway System and corporate franchises. In this fascinating and comprehensive account, we are able to join in Fitch’s expansive journey, truly an odyssey, as represented in the book’s 120 unforgettable photographs, all sequenced to mimic the open road—both during day and night. Fitch explains the project in his informative introduction, in which, interestingly, he suggests that the petroglyphs of the ancient Pueblo people have endured far better and longer than anything made during the last sixty years. Curator Toby Jurovics, in his insightful concluding essay, positions Fitch’s work in relation to that of the practitioners of the photographic style known as the “New Topographics” and Fitch’s own view of photography as a visual form of cultural anthropology. Vanishing Vernacular: Western Landmarks is sure to become a modern-day classic, a book that will be all the more revered as America and Americans move farther away from the highways of the past. That economy and roadside culture are vanishing like endangered species, but Fitch was along for the ride. In sharing that past, he has been witness to his own form of historic preservation.
