In the drumming world Claus Hessler is famous not only as an authority on the Moeller technique, but also as an author of drumming education standards through his international publications Open-Handed Playing Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, Daily Drumset Workout, as well as his double DVD Drumming Kairos.
In his latest release, Camp Duty Update, Claus focuses on the world of rudiments, including their historical background, the European roots of the art of drumming and its export to the New World, and stylistic interpretation. Featured pieces include excerpts from the Camp & Garrison Duty and rudimental classics in their original form, as well as modern versions using influences from Basel drumming and collapsed rudiments. Additional audio examples and play-
alongs serve as extra guidance in understanding the musical dimensions of the topic. Claus Hessler´s Camp Duty Update offers a completely new and comprehensive approach to rudimental drumming that has not been available before.
