We typically focus on learning new beats, and, generally speaking, we assume that if we can play something at 100 bpm we are also automatically able to play it at 60 or 140 beats per minute. The question is: do we actually have the control and technique to do it? And most importantly, can we make it groove even at those tempos?
That’s where exercises like the one we about to practice come into play.

Polyrhythms are one of the most interesting tools available to any musician. They can be used to unleash our creativity on many levels.
I think polyrhythms are fascinating to play, to hear, and first of all to understand.
They make things more interesting by adding variety to our phrasing, by giving us new ideas and also by increasing our technique.

One of the most interesting approaches to advanced drum phrasing is that based on ternary subdivisions, which involve all kinds of triplets, like sextuplets and ninetuplets.
In this lesson we are going to discover a powerful system to phrase with ease using nothing more than two 3 note cells: the RLL and RRL stickings.

During my formative years I have always loved asking lots of questions, going deep and trying to understand the essence of the vision of each of the great musicians and educators with whom I have been fortunate enough to come into contact.
What I have discovered is that taking your drum technique to the next level is not about how many drum books you complete and how many hours you practice. It's about what you practice and especially how you practice. That's in a nutshell the masters’ approach.
So I decided to combine all the knowledge gathered in over two decades and synthesize it in a comprehensive 500 pages drum book with a simple philosophy: boost your drum technique so much that you never have to worry about it anymore.
In this free excerpt I'd like to share with you 55 examples picked from the 3000+ exercises included in the method. I wanted to arrange this booklet so that it's like a mini course, that you can use to instantly see results.
