Drum Blog

Original drum exercises, excerpts from my methods, educational thoughts, and memories from my musical journey.
A blog to learn, reflect… and explore.


Time Manipulation - Section  1 - Basic Patterns

The exercises in Section 1 of Time Manipulation include most rhythmic figures made of eighth notes and sixteenth notes, and of their equivalent rests.
  • These exercises can be worked on in a variety of ways.
  • Start by working on each pattern separately.
  • I suggest various ways of sequencing the patterns on the page, for example by playing each bar twice, four or eight times..
Time Manipulation Drum Book - Exercice 2
  • In this example, each pattern is played twice.

This exercise can be worked on with my Pattern Morphing concept.

16 patterns can become 256 patterns of 2 measures.
