Time Initiation
"Time Initiation" offers a structured and creative approach to drumming instruction, suitable for all levels, featuring innovative concepts such as "Pattern Morphing" and "Universal Fills." Its bilingual format (English and French) and its section on rhythm-centered music theory make it an essential tool for both students and teachers. It is designed to be studied before or in parallel with Time Manipulation.
Time Manipulation
"Time Manipulation" is a critically acclaimed method, ideal for exploring groove and advanced concepts such as polyrhythms and rhythmic displacements, while delving deeper into the ideas of "Pattern Morphing" introduced in "Time Initiation." Available in both English and French, it was described as "fun, inspiring and educational" by Modern Drummer Magazine in 2019.
