This book is designed for the intermediate/advanced drummer to improve musical, technical control and reading ability, and presents several rhythmic styles, such as funk, jazz and Latin. I'm not trying to educate you on the 'correct' Cuban or Brazilian grooves, but have used this music as an inspiration for different phrashings and concepts. In the notes you can find book recommendations to explore the styles fully. Please feel free to use the material creatively, like repeating bars when you feel like it. You can also use the pieces for advanced sight reading, but I suggest that you take time to look carefully at the dynamics and stickings. All the stickings are basedon a right handed player (please reverse them if you are left handed). The basic concept is to have rhythmic compositions with basic classical notation and technique, that you can play on a drumset or on a practice pad with your feet stompin' at the floor. The first part is snare and bassdrum with hi-hat foot suggestions. Later in the book hi-hat (with stick) and snarerim are added. The advantage of these concepts is that playing through these etudes is very closely related to what is going on in modern music. Especially important for players in Jazz, Rock and Latin, but also very useful for a classical percussionist who needs solid music training. The last part of this book is a few pages of technique studies and rhythmic concepts that is related to the compositions. The purpose is not to include all basic strokes and principles (there are already many great books for that) but to show you some concepts that I have found useful and special through my years of playing and teaching. Michael Axen.

“To this day, Eugène Bozza (1905-1991) remains a prolific composer for wind instruments, despite being a violinist himself. However, his compositions for other instrumentations have not gone amiss, Rhythmic for Timpani, Percussion and Piano being no exception. During his studies at the Paris Conservatoire, Bozza won prizes for Violin, conducting and composition, as well as the Grand Prix de Rome. He then conducted the orchestra of the Opéra-Comique and became Head of the Conservatoire in Valenciennes, whilst remaining a prominent composer. Composed in 1948, Bozza's Rhythmic is so named due to its instrumentation. This percussive work is excitingly complex and a riveting addition to any performance. Containing much rhythmical variation, Bozza's Rhythmic is a sublime addition to the Percussion repertoire.&rdquo.

My love is as a fever was inspired by William Shakespeare's sonnets. The work was created for the Faust Quartet with the aim of creating a counterpart to Alban Berg's Lyrical Suite using new compositional techniques, both in terms of emotional expression and technical requirements. It is a melodic-rhythmic composition, whose techniques consist of the transformation of non-European music and the music that was practiced in Europe a thousand years ago.

A rhythmic composition in which the cells quaver / two semiquaver and two semiquaver / quaver are like a leitmotiv until the end of the Piece. The numerous triplets are a wink of Rhapsody in Blues from George Gershwin. My goal was to facilitate the listening, the exchange and the mimicry between the two associated players: no tandem (Temps d'M) without that!

The familiar Latin text has been set many times by many composers, but this dynamic and rhythmic composition rises above. Opens with a driving marcato theme, which is brilliantly contrasted by the expressive, legato B section. A dramatic choral work that delivers an impressive effect.
