Drum set total update

Contenidos generales

The aim of this method book is to encourage each student to develop his/her own musical vocabulary in an original and entertaining fashion, emphasizing creativity through the process of listening and imitating.
For several years already, pioneering drummers have been exploring the infinite richness of polyrhythms. By shifting meter for changing the pulse within a simple chart, new colors, climates and musical illusions are formed, bringing radiance and innovation to the music. Starting out from the rhythmical phrase of NANIGO and carried forward by the system which I developed based on Daniel Goyonne's 'Rhythmic Treaty' (Outre Mesure, editor), this compilation expresses my wish to extend as far as possible the concept of independency in drumming within the context of tasteful musicality.
I hope this new method, which is the logical follow-up to 'Steps To The Beat' ( Alfonce production, editor), will be equally valuable as a referent source to students as to professionals desiring to hone and perfect their art.
