RHYTHM over RHYTHMS: Poly-metric Patterns

In 2005 Dr. David Locke called it simultaneous multidimensionality, as musical cubism, a condition prevalent in many African traditions of performance art in which music is coherent from different aural and kinesthetic perspectives at the same time.

A simpler way of thinking adapting to drum-set practice may be Polymetric Patterns, where you create and develop your overall technique through the interwoven of ostinato patterns, points of rhythmic divergence, meter oppositions and connections within the full structure.

You can build 300+% technical capacity in the same amount of time you normally achieve only a 20% of your natural skill. Why is this? Well, this is simple. YOU ARE ABOUT TO WORKING AS A FULL ORCHESTRA! That is what batería is. And working in this way, the drummer can trigger all of her/his neuromuscular system in a higher energetic and integrated quest of percussive musical making.

I have been studying and researching, practicing and teaching for over 25 years all of this. Founded and developed drumming ensemble music Lab, experimenting with the rhythmic possibilities in every musical context, analyzing the concepts and theoretical principles, and finally creating a powerful approach to my own way of playing. Maximizing the quality quantity of unforeseeable percussive living experience of instrumental skill, historical knowledge, theoretical understanding and creativity.

True invention is very rare to find, thus changing the drumming paradigm within the theoretical studies of drum-set practice and its diversification of applications, opens a profound threshold of ancient, contemporary and futuristic wisdom in the drumming percussive art.
