Have you always wanted to know how to integrate
rudiments like paradiddles, five stroke rolls, six stroke rolls,
seven stroke rolls, nine stroke rolls, eleven stroke rolls etc.
into grooves, in a practical, cool and effective way? Well,
then youÕve come to the right place!
The main focus lies on the groove aspect and is mostly based
on the backbeat of 2 and 4 which makes the exercises very
applicable in terms of popular grooves -- be it as the groove
itself, a groove variation or as a fill.
The starting point of the modular groove concept is mainly
paradiddles, both as binary and ternary subdivisions. The
book is best suited for those who have at least mastered the
most common paradiddles and rolls. So, take it easy-peasylemon-
squeezy: You donÕt have to have all 40+ rudiments
under your belt.
YouÕll start with different kinds of paradiddle stickings
which will be our homebase, so to speak. Next, IÕll show you
step by step how to transform those paradiddle patterns
into dope grooves.
Volume 1 will be dealing with 16th-grooves combined with
32nd-notes. Volume 2 continues with the same concept
and deals with 8th-note-triplet-grooves combined with
16th-triplet-notes/sixtuplets, until they get quite dense and
complex.
If you have a serious interest in becoming a rudimental
groove ninja: What are you waiting for? Let your groove
journey into unimagined and exciting rhythm realms begin!
