Syncopation Variations Explained

This is one of the biggest and most interesting, fertile offerings in the whole Top Down Drumming catalog. In our Syncopation Interpretation section, we focused on pages 38 and 44 and offered many interesting and creative ideas. In this series, we deal with the whole rest of the book. Each page has the potential for a myriad of ideas and we lay them out for you. Get out  your Syncopation book, and go to any page, link up with the ideas and you can have an interesting day/week/lifetime of practice. The ideas are deliberately varied and show you the range of the creativity and potential within even one page. At Top Down Drumming we say that every drum book ever written can be written from the Syncopation book (with the proper idea applied) and these videos try to prove that point. We are guessing/hoping that you will be inspired to come up with your ideas after seeing some of the potential. We are just scratching the surface of what is possible!
