Peter Magadini & “The Chicago Polyrhythm Clinic” part#2…
Here is part two of a clinic event held a Vic’s Drum Shop in Chicago, Illinois. Pete is the author of two well known books on the subject and (part#2) continues with: “The Polyrhythm Shuffle” – then an extensive exploration of 3 against 4 (3:4) and the playing of two advanced exercise/solo pages based on half/note triplets from the book “Polyrhythms The Musicians Guide”. The clinic then continues with metric modulations of: 4 to 5 over 4 after which comes a drum feature with metric modulation plus soloing with the band featuring poly-meters & polyrhythms all within an Afro Cuban based solo. Also from the book: “Polyrhythms For The Drumset” there is a band feature in a 3/4 + 4/4 combination of meters and grooves within a recognizable 3/4 jazz/blues standard. Clinic part two is for everybody for sure but is might be a consideration to explore “The Chicago Polyrhythm Clinic” part #1 first.
