DrumMantra Rich Stitzel

The second book in the DrumMantra repertoire picks up where book one, The Foundational Series, ends. This entire book is all about the 3:4 & 5:4 polymetric relationships. The Primary Series focuses on several aspects of drumming. First, it is an in-depth study of the function of the 3:4 and 5:4 polymetric relationships in various expressions (NATIVE, and NON-NATIVE). Second, there is a vast series of exercises to develop a very deep level of coordination. Third, there are also six brand new Rhythmic Melodies Sections to push your reading chops and give you a new level of your musical phrasing. If you are ready to expand your rhythmic horizons, The Primary Series is definitely a great next step.
