The
rhythmical language of
South India is combined
with snare drum
rudiments?a book for
drummers, percussionists
and rhythm enthusiasts.
Konnakol is one
of the most effective
ways of learning and
mastering rhythm, and
rudiments form an
essential vocabulary of
Western drumming. Both
traditions can be counted
among the most ancient
and highly developed
rhythm concepts across
the world and are
additionally useful
methodical tools.
The beauty of
both konnakol and
rudiments is their
simplicity and clarity.
Both concepts help us to
memorize an extensive
rhythmic vocabulary,
visualize patterns and
compositions and plan
ahead mentally during
performance. They enable
us to cross borders,
illuminating new paths
towards rhythmic
creativity and
improvisation in any
musical genre.
This thorough and
clear introduction to
South Indian rhythms
containing 26 selected
pieces ranging from easy
to complex demonstrates
how the two rhythmic
cultures blend with one
another, enrich each
other reciprocally, and
provide access to new
musical worlds.
Taladiddle by
Claus Hessler and Claudio
Spieler is thereby
creating a bridge between
these previously
unconnected worlds which
display so many common
factors and
parallels.
