  • Book cover of Groovin' Rudments
    Ron Wilson

     · 2022

    After learning some basic beats, students of the drum set often ask, “how do I get to the next level?” Developing drum rudiments will open up a new universe on the drum set by building technique, speed, and dexterity. Playing these sticking patterns with the online grooves and beats creates another enjoyable dimension to the material. Applying new skills by playing with other musicians is an important part of the learning process. The online music tracks facilitate this and make it fun to play the examples in a musical setting. Each recorded example appears in two separate versions; one includes the drums as a reference, and the other leaves the drum tracks out so students can provide the drumming. All examples are written in standard drum set notation. Includes access to online audio.

  • Book cover of The Gangster Film
    Ron Wilson

     · 2014

    This volume examines the gangster film in its historical context with an emphasis on the ways the image of the gangster has adapted and changed as a result of socio-cultural circumstances. From its origins in Progressive-era reforms to its use as an indictment of corporate greed, the gangster film has often provided a template for critiquing American ideas and values concerning individualism, success, and business acumen. The gangster genre has also been useful in critically examining race and ethnicity in American culture in terms of "otherness." Films studied include Musketeers of Pig Alley (1912), The Racket (1928), The Captive City (1952), The Godfather, Part Two (1974), Goodfellas (1990), and Killing Them Softly (2012).
