about

"As open and generous as the author himself, Pure Rhythm is an excellent and essential introduction to world rhythms. Presented step by step in a clear, intelligent and systematic format, this is a long overdue classic in the field.”

John Zorn

"Pure Rhythm provides an excellent and useful tool for those who wish to advance their knowledge of rhythm."

Jack DeJohnette

"This book is a critical introduction to much of the important creative insight into the whole feeling of movement in music, with a strong implication of both regularity and differentiation.
I recommend this book highly for musicians, on all levels, as a means of nurturing their rhythmic creativity."

Dr. Yusef Lateef

Pure Rhythm is an applied guide to the world of rhythm. Written in a clear user friendly, graphic notation, a vast number of traditional beat patterns, plus a remarkable array of innovative metric variations are presented in a step-by-step systematic format. The book offers an in depth training tool and reference book is for the instrumentalist, composer, percussionist, student and music educator who aims to expand and improve his or her understanding of rhythm and overall musicianship. Over 140 Rhythms can also be heard on the digital files that accompany the text.
