Poliritmie ardite e ospiti illustri (Robert Fripp alla chitarra, tanto per dirne uno): arriva il DVD didattico di Gavin Harrison, l’uomo dietro i tamburi di King Crimson e Porcupine Tree, uno dei top drummer sulla scena e uno capace di far venire il mal di testa anche ai più navigati batteristi.

Il DVD si chiama “Rhythmic Designs – A Study of practical creativity“, dura due ore e mezza ed è destinato ai batteristi di livello medio/avanzato e se ne può avere un assaggio in questa pagina con estratti dal libro, anteprime audio, video.

The advanced book/DVD package has been created to provide contemporary drummers with a method for studying and developing the technical and musical skills required to perform today’s challenging, progressive drumming styles.

Rhythmic Designs expands on the groundbreaking polyrhythmic, polymetric concepts covered in Harrison’s previously published Rhythmic Illusions, Rhythmic Visions and Rhythmic Horizons books and videos by offering detailed analysis and transcriptions of twenty drum tracks from the recent Gavin Harrison & 05Ric albums “Drop” and “Circles” (featuring guitarist Robert Fripp and keyboardists Dave Stewart and Gary Sanctuary). Along with the 204-page book of note-for-note transcriptions and practice exercises, the double-sided companion DVD features more than two-and-a-half hours of video packed with descriptions and discussions of the drum parts, set-ups, tuning and recording process—plus six minus-drums, play-along tracks.
