Hi all you drummers out there.
I have a friend who has just taken up drumming, he is looking for a book which is a tutorial by BB on drumming Shadows tunes.
Any help or information would be gratefully received.
Many Thanks,
Jim

Brian Bennett was involved with 3 drum tutor books back in the Sixties:
1) "Drum Tutor"
Published in 1963, with yellow cover, by The Shadows Music Ltd. and Belinda (London) Ltd.
Revised in 1964 and republished, with additional exercises, with a pink cover.
2) "Guide To Teen-Beat Drumming"
Written in association with Bruce Gaylor in 1964 and published by The Shadows Music Ltd. and Belinda (London) Ltd.
3) "The Mersey Beat - A Supplement To A Guide To Teen-Beat Drumming"
Written in association with Bruce Gaylor in 1964 and published by The Shadows Music Ltd. and Belinda (London) Ltd.
I would suggest these tutors are probably only really of interest to collectors.
Watching and listening to the recent high quality dvd recordings of Brian Bennett, with Cliff Richard & The Shadows, gives drummers perhaps the best tutorial as to how he played Shadows' tunes.
Regards,
Phil Jarvis
