The book Progressions by Scott Johnson was written with today's rudimental drummer in mind - using the vocabulary and techniques that are in use today among top DCI lines.
Progressions is a collection of 15 solos that progress from easy to extremely advanced, utilizing contemporary techniques such as odd meters, 5 and 7 lets, high speeds and dynamic control, and other modern rudimental techniques. Progressions includes a DVD of Scott Johnson explaining and performing each solo, giving you insight to Johnson's techniques and reasons behind each solo!
