Universal Rhythms for Drumset The Keys to Unlock a World of Creativity 節奏

由鼓手兼教育家戴夫-迪肯索（Dave DiCenso）編寫的《通用鼓點節奏》是一本工作手冊，其設計理念是幫助揭開鼓手創作過程的神秘面紗。DiCenso 從大多數西方音樂都建立在五個簡單的節奏短語基礎上這一概念出發，提供了創造性的工具，演示如何識別、解釋和處理這五個節奏字母，以提高人們對節奏這種語言的理解，以及用鼓來表達節奏的能力。通過在每節課中運用創新的八步掌握系統，讀者將面臨挑戰，超越肌肉記憶，提高大腦技能，如在任何凹槽、填充、潤色或獨奏中對脈搏/空間/形狀的認識；讓想法從頭腦到四肢再到鼓無縫地流動；瞭解其他音樂家佔據的空間，從而做出明智的音樂選擇，創建更深層次的樂隊口袋。課程包括 500 多項練習，涵蓋 28 種鼓樂風格，所有練習均以五種節奏為基礎，書中所有示例均由作者在隨書附贈的 MP3 CD 中演奏

原文簡介:
Written by drummer/educator Dave DiCenso, Universal Rhythms for Drumset is a workbook with a concept designed to help demystify the drummer’s creative process. Working from the notion that the majority of Western music is built upon five simple rhythmic phrases, DiCenso offers creative tools that demonstrate how to identify, interpret, and manipulate this five-rhythm alphabet in order to improve one’s understanding of rhythm as a language and one’s ability to speak it on a set of drums. By applying an innovative eight-step "mastery system" to each lesson, the reader is challenged to go beyond muscle memory and improve cerebral skills such as pulse/space/shape awareness within any groove, fill, embellishment, or solo; getting ideas to flow seamlessly from mind to limbs to drums; understanding the space other musicians occupy to make informed musical choices and create a deeper band pocket. Lessons that include over 500 exercises covering 28 drumming styles are all based upon only five rhythms, and all examples in the book are performed by the author on the included MP3 CD.
