of the Month - Jim Linsner "Double Bass Drag"
August 2005
 Jim
Linsner is a performer, educator, and author from West Seneca,
NY. He can be seen playing with JJ Swing, The Tony Scozzaro
Trio, Group Therapy, The Pyramid Band, and The Dave Kayne
Project Band.
Jim is the author of "Rhythm (Read, Count, &Play)".
If you don't know how to read music and you would like to
learn, this is the book for you. Every example in the book
can be heard on the two accompanying CDs. There is also
a "visual glossary" which allows you to find a
picture of anything you don't understand and then read what
it is and how it works. He is also co-author of the "Groovezilla"
Drum set Method.
Both of these books can be purchased at Buffalo Drum Outlet.
