Product Description

With this groundbreaking 2 DVD set, world class drummer and educator Pat Petrillo has created a complete program that will teach you how to read rhythms in beginning to advanced levels! Play along with Pat as a digital pointer guides you through each on-screen example, with a click track provided. By using Pat's proven "Sound Picture" method of associating how each rhythm looks with how it sounds, you will become a better, more confident reader. Also included is a 105-page e-book, and MP3 clips of each example! Topics include basic rhythm notation; quarter, eighth, and sixteenth note combinations; all dotted rhythms and rest combinations; syncopation notation combinations in "straight" and "swing" interpretations; all triplet rhythm combinations; common and odd time signatures; and codas and repeats. Never before has there been such a comprehensive notation-reading package presented in a DVD format. It's the reading boot camp that comes with a teacher!

Pat Petrillo's Learn To Read Rhythms Better Review

the package that you pay for (for only a little more than the price of one lesson with any local drum teacher) gets you two DVDs which are interactive. The lessons are very well graduated. and you even get MP3s and a truly excellent 100 page ebook on the 2nd DVD.
Each example that Pat plays and counts over (with a moving Red arrow to show where he is) is played at a two tempos (Tempi?? reminds me of that great larson gag with the octopus at the podium)
One to clearly understand what is going on, and one more challenging and faster one to get the sound into your ear.
This is the kind of material with aspects that can become baffling when it's only in written form. Just having the whole audio-visual thing going on is enormously helpful because Pat demonstrates by talking about it i.e explaining, showing it, playing it and (most importantly) counting it correctly out loud.
You can replay each example as many times as you like. It's critical you get this as the DVDs are more like software than say the other drum DVDs you may own. They have buttons on the screen for skipping to the next section and for replaying the previous section. These navigation features are enormously useful/helpful.

I'd be amazed if you really applied yourself diligently by watching the demos, then playing along, then printing the ebook and practicing that, if you didn't really get over any mental block (you may have had) with the sheer abstraction of turning these ink blots into accurate playings of rhythm.

so far, it has cleared up many areas of confusion for me, particularly how to count with syncopation and ties...

It's strange to me that this appears to be the only DVD on the market to tackle this subject, there are many books, but they are quite confusing. It's a delight that since this is the only one, that it's so good.

Finally, I'd recommend that you treat this as a course. Print the ebook, and master that by actually really digesting and understanding what you've seen and played along with in the 2 DVDs

good luck and enjoy, and a resounding thank you to Mr Petrillo, as accurate reading of rhythm can seriously open doors for you when you buy some of the more interesting literature out there (such as The New Breed by Gary Chester, and of course many others)
