Syncopation and Comping Etudes is a collection of 32 etudes crafted to help drummers elevate their reading skills, improve their sense of feel, tone and touch set to various grooves enhancing your overall internal sense of time. Drawing inspiration from classic studies like Ted Reed’s Syncopation and The New Breed which were instrumental in my own growth as a drummer, this e-book brings together the best aspects of those approaches into a single, comprehensive resource. It’s a perfect guide for drummers seeking to deepen their rhythmic understanding and elevate rhythmic confidence and freedom.
These etudes offer flexibility in practice methods: the 8th note etudes can be played swung or straight, allowing you to explore different rhythmic feels. Additionally, all etudes should be practiced with various hand and foot patterns to challenge your coordination and independence. To further enhance your practice, the 8th note etudes can also be used with my walking bass play-alongs, providing a real-time rhythmic context that makes practicing more engaging and effective. For demonstrations on how to approach these etudes, check out my YouTube channel, where you can watch me play through some of these exercises.
