Welcome to a free preview of Decoding Drumming — a first-of-its-kind drum method that offers a completely different way to grasp, internalize, and play rhythm.
Instead of memorizing one measure at a time, Decoding Drumming uses a simple underlying sequence to make the entire page easier to decode and retain in seconds.
The method works hand in hand with traditional music notation — making what’s written easier to understand, absorb, and retain.
The number-based system makes rhythmic patterns accessible without depending on sight alone, while audio playback allows each exercise to be heard and practiced at multiple tempos.
This method is especially helpful for:
The following 12 sample pages combine traditional drum notation with the Decoding Drumming system and include audio playback at multiple tempos.
And these samples are only the beginning. In the complete method, simple number patterns become the rhythmic foundation for 16-bar improvised drum solos. The numbers provide the rhythm, while the choice of drums, orchestration, accents, and dynamics is entirely up to the drummer — allowing a single sequence to inspire countless original variations and solos.
