the third book in the musical drumming series is aimed at students who have finished

Musical Drumming, Book Two and any Competent drummer

looking to improve their playing and understanding of advanced

rhythms, grooves and time signatures

Piece 13: Quintan

The focus of the musical drumming method is ‘application.’

understanding the theory and systematically playing many

variations of a groove is crucial step in learning that technique well.

However if the final step of applying that skill to pieces of music is not

taken, often that knowledge remains more theoretical than practical.

Section Four:

Time signatures

An incredibly misunderstood area of music. My hope in writing this section, is to destroy the mystique and trepidation muso's often feel towards this area of music. With a little understanding and technique it can be quite accessible.

Hopefully in the future the trend started by artists like 'Tool' and 'Sting' will continue and non 4/4 grooves will be used more in

popular music.
