Charles Dowd's A Funky Primer is one of the best-selling drum method books of all time. Through proper use, this progressive encyclopedia of rock/funk patterns can teach developing drummers many necessary skills.
"This book does not attempt to teach the reading of drum notation. It attempts neither to notate numerous pseudo-fancy soul rhythms nor to enforce a certain style of holding the sticks or of playing the drums. This book simply offers a course of instruction to the limited reader that has proven to be successful time and again, based on a style of rock drumming. Pursued properly, this method offers: a drastic increase in the speed and endurance of a drummer's hands and feet; a knowledge of rock-oriented rhythms; basic independence of the hands and feet; and the mastering of soul and jazz-rock beats of famous twentieth century drummers."
