I like this series. It's a little half-baked, and I'll probably have to rewrite it eventually, but I feel we're closing in on something. A theory of rhythm and playing the drumset not based on marches? That will take another couple of generations of development. For now we'll just settle for a thorough understanding of this 3:2 compound pulse fit into common meters, along with a basic, powerful piece of drumming coordination.
This is the
inverse of the last thing, where we started with the bass. Now we're starting with the snare.
See the last entry for
comments on practicing this. Play the patterns, preferably
in a context, and count the quarter note in the meter of the exercise, out loud.
