(Excerpt) Discover NeoParadiddles: Create Countless Variations in Seconds!
"Over the past few years, I have dived deeply into transcribing and have discovered that great players not only keep solid grooves, but they are quick to think; they have the ability to take simple ideas and add countless variations and nuances to maintain the interest of the listener. This kind of genius may feel unattainable to us, especially when we find ourselves going back to habitual playing or over-compensating for lack of new ideas by playing too many memorized licks. The ability to see simplicity in complexity is the key to improving musicality. This book is an easy to memorize idea generator. You can take a simple idea and within seconds create countless variations, exploring it to the fullest!!!"

(Excerpt) What's the difference between jazz quarter notes, rock quarter notes, samba quarter notes, country quarter notes, hip-hop quarter notes, and gospel quarter notes?
"An inability to know and/or play the difference makes it close to impossible to control one's groove. After years of hit-or-miss gigs and rehearsals, I finally got fed up and decided that I need a better way to approach groove."

"It talks about something I and every musician can relate to: finding the groove. I think just the fact of your pointing out that cats can play quarter notes differently will help someone who is at the beginning of this long trip of learning. And talking about the emotion behind it, about being consistent, and finally about shape is very good too." Understanding Groove for Drum Set- Jeff Ballard
