„This is simply a tremendous work.“
René Creemers
„There are a thousand books showing what to play. The vast majority of drummers don´t need more things to play; what they need ist to have of clearer picture of how, where and why to play the things they play, in other words, wisdom. Stefan Schuetz´s thought provoking new book clearly addresses these bigger musical questions“.
