Odd Time Reading Text: For All Instruments : Rhythmic Studies Designed to Develop Accuracy and Speed in Sight Reading As Applied to Odd Time Signatures Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is from 1968 but it's still a very good book to start your Odd Time studies with. You have to know how to read music to use it (if dont know how to do that you could check out the books by RobertStarer).
Although written by a very famous drummer this is not a drumsetbook, but an exercise book written to develop your sight reading skill andunderstanding of Odd Rhythms, and it is suitable for everyone no matterwhat instrument you play, the examples are not melodic, just written on onenote, so the focus is on the Rhythm, and the examples are from simple toquite complicated.
The book deals with Rhythms in 3,5,6,7,8,9 and 12,with either the quarter or eighth or sixteenth note as the basic pulse.There are sections dealing with changing metres also. The book is about 130pages so there is a lot of stuff here, the exercices start simple and thengradualy get more complicated.
A fine book, Highly Recommended.
Othergood rhythm book Authors are Alan Dworsky, Gary Hess, Peter Magadini,Reinhard Flatichler, Gary Chaffee and Gavin Harrison.
