Polyrhythmic Ostinatos - part 1
Filed in: Time Manipulation | Drum Lessons | Videos written by: Alain Rieder
Here is an adaptation of an article I wrote in 1998, and that was published in the March 1998 issue of Batteur Magazine from France. To illustrate the article, there is an excerpt from a recording by Andy Newmark with John Lennon. I recently added a video to further demonstrate the concept.

Section 5 of Time Manipulation Drum Book is in 12/8, and will let you work on both basic and polyrhythmic patterns.
Time Manipulation - Section 4 - Beat Displacement
Filed in: Time Manipulation | Drum Lessons written by: Alain Rieder
Section 4 of Time Manipulation is meant to approach beat displacements in a simple and progressive way. It includes three sets of seven exercises, and I feel they are one of the most interesting series of exercises in the book.
Time Manipulation - Section 3 - Anticipations
Filed in: Time Manipulation | Drum Lessons written by: Alain Rieder
Section 3 of Time Manipulation is meant to work on anticipations. Snare-drum and bass-drum notes that are played accented right before a beat, when they are followed by a rest, can be considered as being an anticipation of that beat.
Time Manipulation - Section 2 - Polyrhythmic Patterns
Filed in: Time Manipulation | Drum Lessons written by: Alain Rieder
In Section 2 of Time Manipulation, new patterns are formed using some of the basic rhythmic figures seen in Section 1. This is done in a musical way, using polyrhythms that are ubiquitous in many musical traditions, as well as in current styles.
Time Manipulation - Section 1 - Basic Patterns
Filed in: Time Manipulation | Drum Lessons written by: Alain Rieder
The exercises in Section 1 of Time Manipulation include most rhythmic figures made of eighth notes and sixteenth notes, and of their equivalent rests.
