Time Benders: An Exploration of Tuplets for Drum Set
About this book
Time Benders - An Exploration of Tuplets for Drum Set is a method book unlike any other. Written by Jake Wood, Time Benders takes drummers on a voyage to other rhythmic lands. It heavily focuses on grooves using quintuplets, quintuplet swing, and septuplets, while also setting drummers up to master the art of effortlessly jumping from any subdivision to another. All exercises throughout the entire book feature a prominent backbeat, unlike the headier world of odd-time signatures. The book was originally inspired by the classical Indian approach of the Adi Tala, the buttery goodness of J.Dilla's samples, and the drunken swinging of D'Angelo's Voodoo. If you've ever wondered what the Purdie shuffle might sound like with quintuplets (haven't we all?!?!) then this book is for you. If you've ever wanted to drop in a septuplet fill, this book is for you. If you've ever wanted to surf over a groove, twisting through each subdivision like you were carving out a rhythm from the future, then this book is for you. Drumming is headed into a new frontier with odd tuplets and this wild-west of drumming now comes with a guide book! Get your copy of Time Benders today and join the Time Bending Guild™!
