Five by five

In this course designed from MI core curriculum programs, Ed Roscetti unlocks the secrets of odd time signatures, covering studies in 3/4, 5/4, 3/8, 5/8, 6/8, 7/8, 9/8 and other odd-time meters. Includes complete song charts with play-along CD tracks, rhythm guides and detailed analysis, the Five Steps to Musicality and more! 'This approach helps the student and professional drummer to develop a library of rhythmic ideas for grooving, turnarounds to outline phrases, and soloing. I highly recommend Ed's book and CD.' - Joe Porcaro
