I developed a method that will make you look at rhythm within time for what it truly is and will give you all tools necessary to get you to a much higher professional level.

"Introduction: The Master Code
Welcome to a new way of understanding rhythm within time. Through diligent practice of the exercises in this book, you will learn several ways of approaching time keeping beyond the traditional methods, and you will increase the capacity of your brain to process data from multiple sources at the same time. Gaining this freedom will give new meaning to the "muscle memory" process and its relationship with mental activity. These are advanced exercises that will develop your mental ability to oversee and control what we physically do as drummers.

The methods in this book are nontraditional tools for developing "time awareness," an awareness of the space between notes. This is a priceless asset for you as the person other musicians look to as THE TIMEKEEPER. The methods contained herein will take you in a stepwise fashion to develop a solid inner clock and give you the ability to recognize, acknowledge, and focus on rhythmic phrasings outside of your own (i.e., what your bandmates are playing). This ability will liberate you from fixating only on what you are playing and will teach you to be aware of what is going on around you in the complex, layered mix of melody, harmony, and rhythm we call music.
The vast majority of popular (and not-so-popular) Western (and non-Western) music functions atop a grid of time; a rhythmic key to which everything that is played relates mathematically. Even atypical rhythms that seem to clash with the main pulse must eventually resolve to the grid if they are to achieve their conventional purpose of "tension and release." This invisible, binding force—the feel of music—is therefore THE MASTER CODE. If we are to improve our sense of time, everything we practice, everything we play must relate to The Master Code, and we must always know where we are in relation to it. More importantly, we need to convey to other musicians that we know where we are and outline a roadmap for them as well. While "keeping time" is arguably the responsibility of every musician, rest assured that if you play the most incredible over-the-barline fill and the guitar player can't find "1" as a result, you've done a disservice to the music."
