Bryan Bowman Plays Canopus Drums

BUY THE BOOK!

"Bryan Bowman’s revisit and expansion on the topics of syncopation and rudimental drumming bridges the gap for me, as I’m sure it will for many other drummers — as well as providing a beautifully-useful tool for students of the Reed, Dawson and Wilcoxin methods and etudes.

I am looking forward to utilizing this book with my students as well as on my own practice pad."

- PETER ERSKINE

"Syncopation Companion is a wonderful addition to the world of drum set pedagogy, extending the great work of jazz education pioneer Alan Dawson's methods with Ted Reed's Syncopation. Indeed, a rich legacy to stand upon. I am most impressed by the logical progression from Chapter One through Chapter Twelve and the inclusion of concepts applicable to various styles, including Jazz, Rock, Funk, Brazilian, and Afro Cuban genres. The technical exploration presented in Syncopation Companion will surely extend the hand and four-way technique of the intermediate-advanced drummer, making it an excellent resource for drum set and percussion teachers alike, who are looking to challenge their students' overall musical development".

— YORON ISRAEL (Chair and Professor of Percussion, Berklee College of Music)
