ALFRED 0044214 Turn the Beat Around

2 in stock

Habits and traditions are often hard to change, but discovering new and creative ways of rearranging and rethinking established norms is what distinguishes a great drummer and provides endless challenge and possibilities. Turn the Beat Around breaks decades-old routine by examining 'backbeats' in a whole new light, asking the questions: 'Why are backbeats always played on beats 2 & 4?' and 'What about playing them on beats 1 & 3?' By delving into this inquiry, Paul Wertico provides drummers with innovative ways of expanding groove vocabulary, solidifying time, and mastering coordination and limb independence. Wertico has even coined a new word for these types of reversed beats---frontbeats.
