The Primary Series Hits the Top 100 on Amazon!

 

We’re thrilled to share some exciting news—The Primary Series, the second book in the DrumMantra repertoire, has officially landed in the Top 100 on Amazon! This recognition is a testament to the power of deep, intentional practice and the growing community of drummers committed to expanding their rhythmic horizons.

What Is The Primary Series?

Following the success of The Foundational Series, which introduced core polymetric concepts and coordination systems, The Primary Series picks up right where book one leaves off. This book is designed for intermediate to advanced drummers ready to deepen their understanding of polymetric coordination and explore complex rhythmic phrasing across various time signatures.

You’ll study the functional relationships of:

The Primary Series Practice Sessions!

On January 30, 2021, we began a weekly online practice session based on the first book in the DrumMantra collection, The Foundational Series. I devised a way for it to take 26 hour-long sessions to go through the book in its entirety. We are currently on Week 17 of the second round right now - but anyone can jump in at any point because PRACTICE IS PRACTICE.

For several years the students in the DrumMantra Lesson Vault have been asking me to either create another course like the 3030 or a practice session for my second book, The Primary Series. 

Whereas the Foundational Series has three sections, the Primary Series has eleven, making it a bit more challenging to figure out how to present the material in a linear fashion that is cohesive and logical.
