Howdy friends,

My new method book Drummer's Guide to Odd Time Signatures (Alfred/National Guitar Workshop) is published and ready to go. It can be ordered here:

http://alfred.com/Products/Drummers-Guide-to-Odd-Time-Signatures--00-34099.aspx

You can also order it at any music or book store. If you are interested in getting it, this might be a good idea as it will increase the possibility of getting it on the shelves.

If you play and/or teach drums, it will make a great addition to your library (in my not so humble opinion). If you have a musician friend, why not get it as a gift? They make great stocking stuffers!

Here's what some well respected drummer/educators have to say about it:

"Way to go, Rick! An excellent, clear and concise pathway to develop understanding and control of odd time signature grooves. Onward and upward, is this 2/3 or 3/2?" - Skip Hadden (Berklee College of Music, Weather Report, Dewey Redman, author of World Fusion Drumming )

"Rick Landwehr’s “Drummer’s Guide to Odd Time Signatures” takes the drum set player on a step by step journey into the world of odd times. Beginning with a simple waltz and advancing to 11/4 time signatures. Every example is clear and concise, providing insight and logic, simplifying complex meter concepts. The fun Afro-Cuban, Brazilian and Jazz examples will broaden any player’s bag of tricks. I welcome this book to my library, and look forward to using it with my students." - Casey Scheuerell (Berklee College of Music, Jean-Luc Ponty, Gino Vannelli, Chaka Khan)

Current mood:  animated

Tamandua’s debut album Eternal Anteater of the Universe was recorded on November 14 and 15, 2008 at Boston Recording Studio.  Edits, mixing, mastering and guitar overdubs on the track The Gypsy Cat from Persia were done between November 17 and December 22, 2008.  The band played live in the studio without a click track.  There was minimal tweaking of sounds post recording.  The intention was to capture, as accurately as the microphones could, the raw sound and feel of real instruments being played by real people in real time.  Minimal compression and limiting was used during mixing and mastering to capture as closely as possible the full dynamic range of the performances.  That's our story and we're stickin' to it.

Hello, people.

Tamandua spent the last two days in the studio and have recorded our first album.
It was all recorded live in the studio with a a teensy weensy amount of edits.  Joe is going to do overdubs on one tune and then we are off to mixing and mastering.

Now, let's eat some freakin' ants!!!!!!!
