Delong Way: To Polyrhythmic Creativity (book/CD)

Publisher : Hudson Music
A Short Cut To Rhythmic Independence!

Written by top Canadian touring and session drummer and clinician Paul DeLong, this book is a step-by-step guide that provides a clear path to developing the polyrhythmic concepts and techniques used by many of the world’s leading drum artists.

Polyrhythms, also known as cross rhythms, are defined as the simultaneous use of contrasting rhythms. One of the most common polyrhythms, 3 against 2, is often employed to create rhythmic tension and texture in many ethnic and popular forms of music.

This new book/audio package begins by explaining the principles of the 3:2 polyrhythm and then explores the most practical and musical applications of this rhythm in four-beat phrases and standard, five-piece drumset voicings.
