Par BOWMAN BRYAN. Syncopation Companion is a must-have book for those who seek to improve their rudimental technique, sight-reading, and four-way coordination on the drum set. This unique investigation of Ted Reed’s Syncopation seeks to recast and reinterpret familiar 8th note rhythmic figures (using half-time 4/4, 8th note triplet, 6/4, and 12/8 interpretations) to expand the possibilities hidden within this legendary sight-reading textbook. This integrated approach to rudimental drumming, involves learning specific sticking formulas and rhythmic treatments of a four-bar phrase, and then activating them by sight-reading through numerous rhythmic etudes in Syncopation. Explore the many ways Syncopation can be applied to the drum set within the context of Jazz, Afro Cuban, and Brazilian styles. Includes an extensive study of jazz comping possibilities inspired by famous drummers such as Tony Williams, Jack DeJohnette, Roy Haynes, and many others.   / Methods & Tutors / Etude / Percussions
