Master the art of complex rhythms with Polyrhythms The Musicians Guide by Peter Magadini, a groundbreaking resource acclaimed worldwide and hailed by Modern Drummer magazine as by far the best book on the subject. This comprehensive volume is designed for instrumentalists and vocalists of all styles who want to expand their rhythmic vocabulary and improve timing, creativity, and precision. * * Inside, you will find expertly written solos, studies, and exercises that make polyrhythmic concepts approachable and practical. Core topics include 6 over 4, 5 over 4, 7 over 4, 3 over 4, 11 over 4, and other rhythmic ratios. The book also explores how to combine multiple polyrhythms, interpret unusual time signatures, and apply these techniques to performance and improvisation. Notated examples are presented in clear percussion notation for easy study and practice. * * To support learning, this edition includes exclusive online audio demonstrations. Using the unique code inside the book, musicians can stream or download practice tracks featuring every exercise. The recordings bring clarity to challenging concepts, helping players internalize rhythms more effectively and apply them in real-world contexts. * * At 68 pages, this focused study guide offers both depth and accessibility. Ideal for advanced drummers, percussionists, and any musician seeking rhythmic growth, it also serves as a music teacher resource or a thoughtful gift for musicians committed to mastering rhythm.

It took this company three times to get me the items that I ordered. The first two orders I placed never arrived. However, this one did and I am happy with my Genkouyoushi notebooks. Third time is the charm. Thank you.

I order at least one usually two books per month. These are great sturdy books that are excellent for active people. Whether I’m exercising or using the latest cooking recipe. Laying these books flat are the way to go!

Perfect for getting back into playing piano again

These spiral bound piano books are absolutely the bomb! With these books, the challenge is all in the playing - not in keeping the book open. My only minor complaint is that the printing needs to be a little further out from the binding. There is a wide margin on the outside, but an insufficient margin on the inside. BTW, customer service has been great too!

Love these books

I always love the feeling of holding and reading books . And especially these books- able to lie flat, turn pages, flip around. Just the best - sometimes it is the little things
