Taught by legendary drummer Louis Bellson, Modern Reading Text in 4/4 has become a classic in all musicians' libraries for rhythmic analysis and study. Designed to teach syncopation within 4/4 time, the exercises in this book also develop speed and accuracy in sight-reading with uncommon rhythmic figures. Alfred's Modern Reading Text in 4/4 is a must for all musicians, especially percussionists interested in syncopation.
