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)
