Drummer’s Polymeteric Mastery
February 2026 will usher in the new Hudson Music/Hal Leonard book release of the Drummer's Polymetric Mastery by educator, author and performer, Jason Gianni. Over three years in the making, the book provides an in-depth study of independence aimed to uncover a pathway to successfully executing polymeters, over-the-bar phrases or cross-rhythms for the drumset. The clinic will outline, explain & present selected categories in the book, displaying a progressive & digestible pathway for drummers either just entering this adventurous journey up to drummers who may have already developed an appreciation of polymeters. Through the use of transcribed musical examples for the large screen, composed original audio play-alongs and various independence exercises, the listeners will walk away with a very clear systematic understanding of how to work on this material on their own. In addition, the performance will provide the attendee with the opportunity to come away with a much more controlled sense of numbers heard simultaneously existing with one another; a sense of “rhythmic ear training.”
