THE ELEMENTS OF RHYTHM
In this unique two volume series, you'll discover the essence of binary rhythm pattern theory and be able to apply it to greatly expand your rhythmic knowledge and understanding.
There's an amazing order and structure to rhythm pattern origin/development, and these books provide you with the comprehensive approach to that discovery...
The Elements of Rhythm, Vol. I
ISBN-978-0-9852237-0-0
​
Volume I introduces the subject of binary rhythm pattern theory by using simple binary logic (0,1) to generate the fundamental rhythm patterns that all larger combinations originate from.
​
The patterns are then re-written using conventional music notation and are printed on single music lines for practice and mastery. Additionally, they are catagorized using a first-of-its-kind, binary indexing system.
The book is applicable to all styles of music and all instrumentalists/vocalists.

The Elements of Rhythm, Vol. II
ISBN-978-0-9852237-1-7
​
The follow-up study companion to Volume I presents all of the fundamental patterns in multi-music stave formats, allowing readers to see multiple time signature variations of the "absolute sound shapes." For example, patterns in 4/4 are simultaneously presented in 4/2, 4/8, 4/16, and 4/32.
​
A comprehensive list of counting syllables is included for each group of patterns, further demonstrating the relative ways to count "same sounding" patterns.
The book is applicable to all styles of music and all instrumentalists/vocalists.
