Description
Changing habits and traditions can be quite challenging; however, the ability to discover innovative and creative methods for rearranging and rethinking established norms is what sets apart an exceptional drummer, offering limitless challenges and opportunities. "Turn the Beat Around" disrupts long-standing routines by exploring "backbeats" from a fresh perspective, posing the questions: "Why are backbeats consistently played on beats 2 and 4?" and "What if we played them on beats 1 and 3?" Through this exploration, Paul Wertico equips drummers with inventive techniques to enhance their groove vocabulary, reinforce timing, and achieve mastery in coordination and limb independence. Wertico has even introduced a new term for these reversed beats—frontbeats.
