The focus of the musical drumming method is
application. understanding the theory and
systematically playing many variations of a
groove is crucial step in learning that technique
well. However if the final step of applying that
skill to pieces of music is not taken, often that
knowledge remains more theoretical than
practical.

Section Four Time signatures
An incredibly misunderstood area of music. My
hope in writing this section, is to destroy the
mystique and trepidation muso's often feel
towards this area of music. With a little
understanding and technique it can be quite
accessible. Hopefully in the future the trend
started by artists like 'Tool' and 'Sting' will
continue and non 4/4 grooves will be used more in
popular music.
