Best book to divide you brain into 4 different loops,
By Mehmet Fırat Polat (Istanbul, Sariyer Turkey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 4-Way Coordination: A Method Book for the Development of Complete Independence on the Drum Set (Paperback)
When I first saw this book and the exercises, I think that I can finish this exercises in a small time period. But when I started to practice, things weren't same as I thought. It is really hard and creative book I think. Exercises in this book is only with hi-hat, bass and snare. But it is really increasing your technique and hi-hat control if you practice slow to fast. This book is also recommended by my one of the best drummer; Danny Carey of Tool. If you are not new to drums, and want to increase your technique, this book is one of the best and you have to know that patience is very important when practicing with this book.

This review is from: 4-Way Coordination: A Method Book for the Development of Complete Independence on the Drum Set (Paperback)
This book has been around for at least 40 years, originally (c)1963. It is a fantastic book, with great exercises, mostly written in eighths and eighth-note tripletts. You won't be three lines into the exercises on page 4 (the beginning page of exercises, after a couple of pages in introduction and explanation), before you will find yourself doing stuff you've only dreamed of doing. You can (should) do the exercises with a metronome, forcing you to count and driving you to keep up and not despair. If you have an auto-stepping metronome, you'll find yourself playing the exercises open-close, and increasing to speeds (from the very beginning) that will surprise you. This book, like G.L. Stone's "Stick Control" is one of the all-time great books, proven many times over. And, wait until you see the pics of Dahlgren and Fine on the inside front cover...you'll never think of yourself as a geek, again. Get this one; you will not regret it--but only if you use it.

Authors Marvin Dahlgren and Elliot Fine,
By Mark Smith - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 4-Way Coordination: A Method Book for the Development of Complete Independence on the Drum Set (Paperback)
Folks, this book is a gem for drumset development, one of the drum bibles. Exercises are thorough in exploring different permutations of hand and foot rhythmic sequences. Working this book will open up those synaptic nerve paths and program your muscle memory for every possible rhythm pattern. This is the perfect preparation for Gary Chester, Jim Chapin, etc. Even if you don't have drums, you can work this book on the drum pad while tap-dancing your feet on the floor, and you will have a rhythm vocabulary the very first time you sit down at the drums.

Not really a review -- an explaination...,
By D. Kolton - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 4-Way Coordination: A Method Book for the Development of Complete Independence on the Drum Set (Paperback)
Most reviews touch on what this book is about, I just want to add what you getwhen you get it. Endless permutations of rhythms that break the standard mold of a "normal" drummer. Forget snare on 2&4 or straight eights on a hi-hat. The books seeks to break you down from the "normal" rhythms of the kit and to enable you to hit linearly -- any joint at any time in any order at any point on the kit. But... You don't need a drumset to work it -- all you need are hands and feet to get better. the "score" is set out in various patterns of LH,RH, LF, RF (left hand, right hand, left foot, right foot). So if you can't get enough of drumming, take this on the road with you for vacations, work trips, whatever and work on breaking the mold. The floor, your knees and any flat surface in front of you will do for practice. This is one of the few drum books you can literally practice from anywhere at anytime with nothing but the book and you. 48 of 49 people found the following review helpful
