Tiger Bill Reviews Drummer's Guide to Odd Time Signatures Book and CD by Rick Landwehr 
Back in the 1950s and 1960s Odd Time Signatures were, well, odd! They weren't nearly as commonly used as they are today. Dave Brubeck, with Joe Morello on drums, was one of the first artists to really make odd time signatures popular with songs like "Take Five" (in 5/4) and "Blue Rondo a la Turk" (in 9/8). Today I have a student (Mikey Manasseh) who has been playing "Blue Rondo" to perfection since he was 8 years old! Even as common as Odd Time Signatures have become, there are still many drummers who have trouble playing them and stand to lose a great deal of work because of it. If you don't feel as comfortable playing in Odd Times as you should, this book and CD can help. Let's check it out. Mastering the Art of Odd Time Signatures Notation Review: Explains some basic music theory including note values, dotted notes, time signatures, swing versus straight notes, etc. Building Blocks: Discusses the terms pulse, subdivisions, and note groupings, which are all commonly used throughout the book. 3/4 and 6/8 Review: Covers Rock, Funk, and Jazz grooves in 3/4 and basic 6/8 grooves.
