Any good books or dvd's that explore the drums and bass relationship?

John Patitucci's "Electric Bass Vol. 1" This video covers many different styles of grooves,gives a brief explanation of thier origins, and the player most responsable for mastering it. He also plays them with Dave Weckel so that you can dirrectly relate them with the drums.

It's a very good video and you will gain a lot of knowledge should you purchase it.

thanks guys...any others?it would seem like a pretty important
study.

[Aaron Saunders]

It's very important, but the best way to study it is to do it. Do what you can to find a drummer to play with, and if you can't, find some sort of drum machine as a last resort.

The Larry Graham video (Funk Bass Attack or something) is great, it's all about the groove. They explain some grooves and talk about stuff, and they play a bunch of tunes. Greg Errico is sweet on drums. Lots to be learned. I don't know if it is available on DVD, though.

There are also a lot of drum-oriented dvds which might be helpful, maybe the Drummer's Collective or Modern Drummer videos, for example. There are so many choices...

I saw one many years ago,for jazz...it was an instructional video of Steve Gadd,and at the end he and Eddie Gomez were playing together...showing how the two should "lock in".
I have heard of another with Chad Smith and Flea(RHCP)...if that is more your thing...

I have this one and it is pretty good. I like to watch it at least once a year and pick up the stuff that I missed/forgot. Don't know if it is on DVD, but Starlick Sessions put it out.

In case I didn't mention it this video is almost entirely about the relationship between bass and drums..

There is a video! Oh boy, you haven't seen it? It isn't the exact same stuff as on the book/cd, but it is cool, for sure. No Mike Stern on the video, though.

I haven't seen it, but I know of the Making Music dvd with Victor Wooten and Carter Beauford.

...looks like I need to add that to the list.

Leanne, where did you pick it up?

[ElMon]

Nathan East has a new video out called "The Business of Bass" that you should check out for a number of reasons, including bass/drums dialogue

It is definitely worth it. I bought it on ebay, I had been looking for a while. Wayne Krantz and Bill O'Connell are on some of it too.

Funk Grooves workshop for bass by Fernando Martinez. Excellent book for that idiom, with a CD that isolates bass and drum parts, also giving you the figures in the book. I got it through Abersold.

Play along with your favorite drummers' recordings.
