The focus of the Drum Backbeats Encyclopedia is groove! Section One features 22 snare and bass drum backbeat variations that are imposed over 28 hi-hat ostinatos. The rhythmic variations in the hi-hat patterns move through quarter, eighth, sixteenth, and syncopated rhythms, as well as accented and non-accented variations.
The book also explores open and closed hi-hat development, as well as foot technique (chicks and splashed), ghost note development and more. The layout and progression is clear, logical and thoughtful.
