Time Manipulation

Section 5 of Time Manipulation is in 12/8, and will let you work on both basic and polyrhythmic patterns. This example shows Exercise 58, which is an application of the 3:2 polyrhythm. Additionally it sounds good!

These exercises can be worked on in a variety of ways.
Start by working on each pattern separately.
I suggest various ways of sequencing the patterns on the page, for example by playing each bar twice, four or eight times..

Time Manipulation Drum Book - Exercice 58

In this example, each pattern is played twice.

This exercise can be worked on with my innovative Pattern Morphing concept.

16 patterns can become 256 patterns of 2 measures.
