Reviews:

“I really enjoy studying, and I enjoy working according to a clear systematic methodology. Sebastian‘s book is well-arranged, clear and very educational. I will definitely recommend that my students work with it. It broadens yourrhythmic background. I also came up with new study ideas myself throughout the book. A serious recommendation.“

“Sebastian presents an intense workbook on the relationship between (odd) meters, tuplets and groupings, and goes down some very interesting rabbit holes. Definitely a valuable source of study for anybody interested in fine- tuning skills in these realms of music and drumming. Interesting concepts and challenging coordination stuff happening here—check it out!“

“The way Sebastian deals with the issues of odd meters and the various ways of interpreting rhythm in this book is very exciting and approachable!“

The metric game doesn’t stop at the metronome, the hihat foot or the ride cymbal. The trick here is to start with the simple things – and suddenly everything makes sense. A well manageable concept!
