Book Reviews of A Rhythmic Vocabulary: A Musician's Guide to Understanding and Improvising With Rhythm
Book Review: A wonderful and inexpensive way in
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely love this book. I agree with another reviewer who suggested that it for all musicians and not specifically for drummers; to me (a non-drummer), this is a virtue. The book does not discuss drum technique at all; rather it helps you explore two "timelines" - a clave pattern in four, and a pattern in six. All you need are way to play the included CD and something to make sound with - an instrument, your voice, a drum, or a tabletop. I don't know any other music instruction book that strikes such a perfect balance of simplicity and richness.
