Drummers Guide to Odd Meters: each Composer: Roscetti Ed
From the Author: Rhythmic Guide is a breakdown of rhythms that can be used on any given subdivision. Each odd meter subdivision in this book has its own Rhythmic Guide for you to learn before you create original ones on your own. You will start off by playing these rhythms on a snare drum with the snares off, on a hand drum, or on your lap. Start by playing one rhythm over and over again against the ostinato in your foot until it feels com- fortable. Then play one rhythm into the next, two bars each. Now randomly jump around the Guide. This approach will help you internalize the rhythms away from the drumset. Once you have mastered the rhythms in the book, you can create your own. From the Rhythmic Phrases we will create orchestrated grooves, fills and solo ideas on the drumset and play these ideas with the band on the play-along CD.
