The Breakbeat Bible, by Michael Adamo provides the most in-depth study of
breakbeat drumming in print. The style is divided into thirteen essential
elements, with each element discussed in its own chapter. Hundreds of exercises
and beats give the reader ample opportunity to practice the elements, which,
when assembled, will give the drummer the ability to integrate a complete
language of incredibly funky concepts into his or her playing. Over 90
transcriptions of beats and breaks provide the reader with a window into hip-
hop breakbeat drumming. Included are some of the most sampled beats in music
history including information about the original song and later songs
