Tapspace teams
up with consummate musician and drumset artist Royal Hartigan to
produce our first ever, highly comprehensive coordination development book
for drumset players based on applying rudiments and patterns around the kit.
The difficulty level of Dancin' on the Time goes from simple to
very challenging as royal explains how to exercise independence using basic
stroke combinations (ruffs, paradiddles, ratamacues, single- and double-stroke
rolls, etc.) in 2, 3, and 4-way style independence.
The book consists
of a staggering 254 pages loaded with hundreds of examples, pictures, and
text explanations. Concepts in the book can be applied across the board to
any style of music, and benefits from studying this material would include
vastly improved coordination, an increase in hearing on multiple levels,
and a more finely-tuned ear for the melodic, timbral, and rhythmic possibilities
on the drumset.
Pick up Dancin'
on the Time and dive into what will surely become an important standard
component for coordination development on the drumset!
