    About this ebook

    There is no better way to start your day than waking up and doing something you love, so when drummer and percussionist, Andrew McAuley presented himself with the task of creating a new drum groove every single morning, he soon found himself having a more positive outlook, both on and off of the drum set. In hopes that other drummers may benefit from a similar routine, Andrew decided to take all of the grooves from his online Wake 'n Break video series and compile them into a series of instructional books. The drum breaks in the series range from heavy and trashy sounding "boom bap" back beats to Brazilian and Afro-Cuban influenced drum breaks, with several of them featuring non-traditional instruments/sounds. Each installment in the series covers thirty original drum breaks, complete with notation, in depth explanations, and live links to the corresponding videos. More importantly, Andrew stresses that the reader experiments and tries making these grooves their own. So, what are you waiting for? Get your head off of that pillow, grab your sticks, and start your day on a positive note with Wake 'n Break Volume 1!

    Andrew McAuley

    Born in 1980, Andrew McAuley (aka Kind Beats) is a drummer, percussionist, composer, and educator known for his outside-of-the-box approach to drumming. Taking styles from all around the globe, he seamlessly weaves them together with both neck breaking grooves and soaring soundscapes. Influenced by drum and percussion visionaries such as Billy Martin (of Medeski Martin & Wood) and Cyro Baptista (Beat The Donkey, Sting, Paul Simon, Herbie Hancock), his belief is that everyone should try to discover their own unique voice on the instrument and that it is an ongoing process that never truly ends. Andrew started drumming under Al Miller and later, private instructor Scott Foley. After a few years with no teachers, he started studying under Billy Martin and was inspired to pursue studies at the world renowned Drummers Collective in 2001. There, he studied under masters such as Michael Lauren, Kim Plainfield, Frank Katz, Fred Klatz, Memo Acevedo, and many others. After completing studies at The Collective, he continued studies with Billy Martin and began studying percussion under Cyro Baptista as well. To date, Andrew has performed and/or recorded with Billy Martin, Cyro Baptista, Terry Bozzio (of Frank Zappa, Missing Persons), Avery Storm, DJ Wally aka Pish Posh, Samba Novo Brasilian Music And Dance Ensemble, Colleen Rennison (of No Sinner), and more. He has also written instructional books, launched the free "Heavy In The Beats" compilation series for drummers, posted numerous online instructional series, as well as founded the KindBeats4Kids fundraising project for schools in need of music education programs.
