From the Introduction
To begin our study of South Indian Rhythms for Drum Set we will explore a method I
developed called "Harmonic Time" which encompasses three levels of rhythmic activity:
stepping, sticking, and vocalizing various drum syllables. This method is designed to
internalize musical; time, groove, and mathematics into the entire body and not just into
the head or the hands. This full-immersion and orchestration of multiple rhythm layers
will allow you to "feel" how patterns interlock and not just "hear" them. Additionally,
this approach will become a direct link for applying the material to drum set.
