Can creativity be learned? Can you teach someone improvisation? Or is it an innate gift for "creative people?" In this one-of-a-kind book, renowned drummer and teacher, JP Bouvet, takes you on a tour through psychology, educational theory, and, of course, specific approaches to learning the drums, to reveal how improvisation is much easier to learn than most people think. You'll learn how to leverage the natural tendencies of your mind to systematically learn what most drummers think can't be learned...effortless improvisational freedom. This book is for every drummer who wishes they were more creative on their instrument.
