Advanced Drumming Coordination

by Ray Rojo

(A Comprehensive Guide to Four-Way Independence)
Foreword by Sebastian Lanser


Coordination behind the drum set is one of the biggest challenges that we face as drummers. This book presents a comprehensive method that helps you to develop a high level of coordination. The chapters are written using a step-by-step process that you can utilize to develop any idea – from simple rhythmic patterns to nested-tuplets – and gain control over it behind the kit. Once you understand the process, you will be able to apply it to your own ideas and open the door to the endless world of possibilities.

Reviews:
​

“Advanced Drumming Coordination is a wonderfully comprehensive text that deserves a place in the pantheon of books that tackle the mystifying concept within; gems such as The New Breed, 4-Way Coordination, Extreme Interdependence, and others of its ilk. As modern drumming continues its inexorable evolution, I believe that more emphasis will be placed on this ‘concept’ (to crudely summarize), and Ray covers a lot of ground. I also particularly appreciate his urging of practitioners for further exploration and the onus to find one’s identity—within the context of the book—throughout.”

“Ray’s book “Advanced Drumming Coordination” is a fantastic book for anyone who wants to work on limb independence, ostinatos, and odd-note groupings! His exercises and concepts will help you become more creative and will open up your playing to a new level of freedom.”

- RYAN BROWN

"Coordination is a never-ending study. Considering the vastness of the subject, one can easily get lost and/or frustrated as to where to even begin. In recent years, drummers have been breaking down coordination barriers and introducing exciting new approaches to this evolving study. In “Advanced Drumming Coordination”, Ray has strategically and successfully assembled a method that easily breaks down these new approaches. By taking relatively basic rhythms and exhausting their coordination possibilities, one will gain the understanding of what is possible and the right steps to achieve it. From basic to mind-bending, “Advanced Drumming Coordination” will challenge and inspire drummers of all backgrounds and persuasions."

- JEFF BOWDERS

This book presents coordination challenges that will test your independence in a progressive way and help you to develop control over the drums. Ray is one of the best drummers and educators of this generation and he’s been able to demonstrate it in this great book. Well done, Ray!

Once you start practicing with this book, you won't be able to stop. Ray created an incredible step-by-step concept that will take your drumming to the next level!
