Maybe a little dated but still helped me
I am not very musically inclined, but I love making it. I use only a computer, no drums, so these beat patterns have been wonderful. I would never be original enough to come up interesting beats on my own. It's also helped me learn about rhythm.

Well, I just got a Roland tr-808. It a lot of antiquated features I wish
newer ones had. This book provides ideas for fills, intros, and basic patterns. Good stuff!!!

Good enough for me
This is a drum pattern book. If you are looking for a book on how to play drums then this isn't it. I also doubt it would be of any use to an advanced drummer. If on the other hand you are a beginner and / or trying to program a drum machine then this book is very useful. I haven't had time to try out many of the patterns but it looks like most of the basic stuff is there.
