Think of this book as a systems approach for unifying your mind and body in all your musical endeavors. If you are a beginner, you will learn the language and concepts behind rhythm as you teach your hands how to do what you want them to. If you are already an accomplished drummer, you will find useful tools for tightening up your technique, embellishing and soloing, and expanding your comfort zone within a broader range of musical styles.
It is structured with careful consideration as to how to entrain the body to deliver each tone with intention and how to sequence each tone in every possible variation. There is a natural progression to the concepts presented, the complexity of the exercises, and even the ordering of the rhythms in the back sections.
Whether this is your first intro to studying percussion or whether it is a passion you have been working on for a long time, and whether you are looking to become a drummer or just enhance your understanding of meter in music, River Guerguerian’s unique teaching methodology, which is thoughtfully delineated in this book, will surely inspire, inform, and initiate you into new levels of groove.
This book comes from years of research and travel, and from teaching thousands of people in workshops, weekly classes, and private lessons. River has been playing frame drums for over 30 years. He has traveled internationally, has performed in the world's greatest concert halls, and has recorded on over 200 albums and film soundtracks.
Happy playing!
