BOOKS by Lorne Entress
TIME
AND DRUMMING
Time and Drumming focuses exclusively
on the topic of timekeeping, helping drummers master
this crucial element of music. Modern Drummer liked
it so much that they published three chapters in consecutive
issues in 2000! This book is designed for the intermediate
or advanced drumming student. In-depth analyses pinpoint
where drummers are most often tripped up in their
efforts to play sound time, and helpful exercises
guide them around these meter mistakes. Chapters include;
Time:Internal and External, Subdividing the Beat,
Reach and Rebound, Memorizing Tempo, The Nuances of
Feel, and more. To order, contact Lorne Entress at

$7.95 plus $3.00 shipping and handling. Soon to be
available on Mel Bay Publications as an Internet download!
Ace drummer Lorne
Entress has produced a book that serves as
an almost biblical commandment to drummers.
The meat of the book isn’t just music
notation; each chapter starts with explanatory
text before getting you into the
actual exercises. Entress plants handy little “time
tips” within the chapters to give
a quick, concentrated shot of advice on crucial
points of the timekeeping art. ~Gig

This
is my kind of book. It balances text and musical example with neither
predominating, the idea here being not to learn some new set of licks,
but to examine your timekeeping. ~Drums
etc.
Here’s
a quick study about one of the most basic yet under-valued facets of drumming:
time. Entress dissects the topic in the most technical sense, and in the
abstract as well. In an excellent chapter on subdividing beats, he makes
the point that drumming is actually a sophisticated, artistic process of
dividing time. ~Modern
