Dancin’ on the Time, by Royal Hartigan is a comprehensive study of standard rudiments applied to the drum kit. At 254 pages, the book contains hundreds of exercises split into traditional rudimental categories like ruffs, paradiddles, rolls, ratamacues, and variations. The rudiments are presented in both duple- and triple-feel, offering a lifetime study of limb independence and coordination development that can be applied to virtually any musical style.
The book is supplemented by nearly 40 video demonstrations as well as additional ensemble performances where the concepts are demonstrated in real time.
Benefits from studying this material include improved coordination, awareness of complex patterns on multiple levels, and a more finely-tuned ear for the melodic, timbral, and rhythmic possibilities on the drumset.
