Hal Leonard Releases DrumFun's Turn It Up & Lay It Down, Vol. 7 Playin' the Odds

In January, print music innovator Hal Leonard Corporation became the exclusive worldwide distributor for DrumFun's Turn It Up & Lay It Down line of play-along CDs for drummers. Both companies are pleased to announce that the long-awaited Vol. 7 in the popular series — Playin' the Odds — is now available.

Turn It Up & Lay It Down CDs give drummers of all skill levels top-notch tools for learning how to become well-rounded, successful musicians. Playing along with bass lines and music-minus-drums backing tracks helps them develop the key qualities of working drummers and create their own distinctive style and sound—all while having fun playing.

When drum legend Vinnie Colaiuta was asked about his approach to odd time at a clinic, he paused, took a drag of his cigarette, and replied in his cool manner, "I dunno man...I just play in 7, for an hour or two." Playin' the Odds provides more than 70 minutes of "where's one?" fun in its 13 odd-time backing tracks in the progressive/rock genre.

Endorsed by prestigious institutions including Berklee College of Music, the Drummers Collective, and Percussion Institute of Technology, the Turn It Up & Lay It Down series covers a wide range of musical styles—from rock, funk, and jazz to Latin, Afro-Cuban, and heavy metal.

Turn It Up & Lay It Down Vol. 7 is packaged in jewel cases and retails for $12.95.
