Description
Up to now, we have worked with two reference points: first, the metronome speed, and second, the figure chosen among the progressions, with all its combinations. In this section, we shall deal with a third reference or calculation point: the so-called displacement, which as its very name indicates displaces us through the measure. Just as I have commented on other exercises, being able to use this kind of figure helps you to gain a greater control over rhythmical language in general: this change can open up other possibilities that are much more natural than we believe. In this exercise we are dealing with groups of 3 over 5.

19/4 Amalgam – 1712 – E
Up to this section, we have been working at 4/4. From now on, we shall go on to other measures. There is a method of Bob Moses’s which I have found extremely useful for an understanding of this kind of measures: Bob Moses called it “reference point

Play Back (Rod Morgenstein) Displacement – 1716 – E
Here you’ve got some musical backgrounds based on patterns of the great drummer Rod Morgenstein. As you may well have noticed, this pattern was conceived for the use of a double bass drum. Commentary:
