In volume 2 of his successful training practice for music students, amateur drummers, and advanced percussionists Stephan Genze introduces an additional selection of six popular drumming styles: Country, Rock, Reggae, Gospel, Blues Shuffle, and New Orleans. As an experienced workshop instructor, band coach, and professional drummer he also offers a wealth of valuable practical playing tips.

Each of the chapters of Popular Styles for Drums 2 provides a step-by-step approach: after a short introduction to the style, an intensive practice unit with training grooves follows. These grooves gradually become more advanced and challenging. Each chapter is then rounded off with an authentic band arrangement (including a photocopiable lead sheet), which emphasizes special stylistic features and facilitates the practical use of what has just been learned.

In addition to the exercises and practical tips, the included DVD presents all of the grooves and band arrangements contained in the booklet. The practice tracks on the CD also invite the learner to practice and play along. These methods combined ensure that the visual, audio-visual, and auditive learning levels are effectively exploited.


The DVD includes:

  • approx. 60 minutes of video material covering all of the learning objectives
  • grooves and full-band performances, all played on live instruments
  • multiple camera angles in one clip
  • photocopiable instrumental parts of the band arrangements

The audio CD includes:

  • approx. 60 minutes of audio material, recorded with live instruments
  • 14 practice tracks in various tempos
  • 6 play-alongs (to let you “sit in” with the band)
