Format:Paperback
Same as the 4/4 book, good for advanced readers. But lacking in basic explainations, which doesn't come across well for players who are at an intermediate level.

How Odd Time Is !
11 Jun 2000
Format:Paperback
This book is from 1968 but it's still a very good book to start your Odd Time studies with. You have to know how to read music to use it (if dont know how to do that you could check out the books by Robert Starer).
Although written by a very famous drummer this is not a drumset book, but an exercise book written to develop your sight reading skill and understanding of Odd Rhythms, and it is suitable for everyone no matter what instrument you play, the examples are not melodic, just written on one note, so the focus is on the Rhythm, and the examples are from simple to quite complicated.
The book deals with Rhythms in 3,5,6,7,8,9 and 12, with either the quarter or eighth or sixteenth note as the basic pulse. There are sections dealing with changing metres also. The book is about 130 pages so there is a lot of stuff here, the exercices start simple and then gradualy get more complicated.
A fine book, Highly Recommended.
Other good rhythm book Authors are Alan Dworsky, Gary Hess, Peter Magadini, Reinhard Flatichler, Gary Chaffee and Gavin Harrison.

KINDLE version? Don't think so.
30 Jan 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
[This review is for the KINDLE version of the book!]
I personally feel that the publisher is not doing justice to the quality of the book's contents!
Downloaded the free sample and went through it.
The Kindle version has been put together in a rather hasty manner, it seems.
Kindle version is definitely *not* recommended; if you want to buy it, get the printed version.

be a god of all things rhythmic
26 July 2008
Format:Paperback
This is the most intense and thorough advanced rhythmic reading text that you can probably find anywhere. I'm a professional guitarist who likes to play and write in a wacky fusion-esque style. Since tapping into this book my writing and improvising has morphed into realms that I never expected to ever experience. You should already have an okay understanding of basic sixteenth note rhythms before you jump into this book. To quickly advance to that level may I recommend Rhythmic Training by Robert Starer. If you want to take your reading, improvising and musicality to the ionosphere, these two books are the ticket !!
