This book is a comprehensive study of 12/8 rhythms. The student can use the suggested different sonic applications to orchestrate these rhythmic patterns into beautiful creations-a valuable resource for the modern drummer.

This is so well done. Very clear and musical! My students will enjoy this!
Dom Famularo, Drumming's Global Ambassador
The first pattern in this book, the Swingadiddle, is so essential that it should be a standard swing drum set rudiment!
Harold Jones, Count Basie/Tony Bennett, PAS Hall of Fame Member
Veteran educator, Sean J. Kennedy has created a fun and methodical concept for developing endless coordination, orchestration and solo ideas. It could literally take a lifetime to unlock all the exciting patterns. You better get started now. Enjoy
Rich Redmond, Jason Aldean/Sessions/Educator
Mastering accent and tap control on drum set surfaces is challenging for many students. Sean's patterns and orchestration instructions will get them there quickly, while developing a deeper swing feel! Plenty of material for us lifelong learners!
Chris Hanning, West Chester University/PAS Past President
Oodles of accents, indeed! I always knew Sean had an analytical mind, but this book takes it to a new level! Using an innovative concept for developing the hands in a jazz setting, the book provides an endless array of melodic possibilities that can be practiced on a single surface or moved around the drum set. The fact that the patterns can be practiced randomly or in sequence gives teachers and students maximum flexibility in deciding how deep they want to go. I will definitely be jumping in myself, as well as sharing with my students.
