Ted Reeds "Syncopation" has been used for decades to develop any style of drumming and technique. Gordy Knudtson has been guiding me through his approach to open/close (also known as push/pull) for a number of years now and I have adapted some old exercises to work with the Syncopation book. Though this lesson only takes me a bout 30 seconds to play, it will take time to build up to the speed on this video. I have the metronome set to whole note = 115bpm. It's quite fast and looks deceptively easy. Notice I am assigning the beat to the whole note. If we were to apply the beat to the half note then the metronome would 230bpm. The quarter would then be 460bpm. It's not all about speed but I do like to push myself beyond what's practical as a personal challenge and to stretch my ability much like an athlete. I hope you find this video both entertaining and informative. Give it a try for yourself. Use whatever technique you like but also check out my other videos to learn more about open/close. I think you will find the technique very practical and eye opening.

Voted second on Modern Drummer's list of 25 Greatest Drum Books in 1993, Progressive Steps to Syncopation for the Modern Drummer is one of the most versatile and practical works ever written for drums. Created exclusively to address syncopation, it has earned its place as a standard tool for teaching beginning drummers syncopation and strengthening reading skills. This book includes many accented eighths, dotted eighths and sixteenths, eighth-note triplets and sixteenth notes for extended solos. In addition, teachers can develop many of their own examples from it.

In Every band or ensemble, the drummer is called upon to give that group a Solid rhythmic foundation. Therefore it is important that every drummer have Excellent music reading skills. The goal of this book is to first introduce basic Music reading skills and then to explore many of the most common syncopation rhythms found in today´s music. Here are some suggestions on how to practice the rhythms and exercises found on this book:1.Count out loud. This is a must in order to become a good reader.2.Practice at various tempos from slow to fast.3. Work on incorporating the syncopated rhythms you learn in this book around the full drumset (toms, cymbals, hi-hat, etc.).4. Devote some of your practice time to playing with a metronome Remember, there is no substitute for a good teacher Since its publication, many drummers have asked me how I was inspired to write this book. I was teaching drums , giving 85 half-hour lessons each week with about 55 students. Monday to Friday. First I would lesson to the student´s last lesson and then write, demonstrate, explain and play with them on their new lesson. I then wrote all that stuff and made copies. I was careful to protect my original work from plagiarism until I received an official copyright from Washington, D.C. I published it in 1958 and now it´s in your hands/pc.

Syncopation is a musical term meaning a variety of rhythms played together to make a piece of music, making part or all of a tune or piece of music off-beat. More simply, syncopation is "a disturbance or interruption of the regular flow of rhythm": a "placement of rhythmic stresses or accents where they wouldn't normally occur". It is the correlation of at least two sets of time intervals.

Syncopation is used in many musical styles, especially dance music. According to music producer Rick Snoman, "All dance music makes use of syncopation, and it's often a vital element that helps tie the whole track together". In the form of a back beat, syncopation is used in virtually all contemporary popular music.[citation needed]

Syncopation can also occur when a strong harmony is simultaneous with a weak beat, for instance, when a 7th-chord is played on the second beat of 3
4 measure or a dominant chord is played at the fourth beat of a 4
4 measure. The latter occurs frequently in tonal cadences for 18th- and early-19th-century music and is the usual conclusion of any section.

A hemiola (the equivalent Latin term is sesquialtera) can also be considered as one straight measure in three with one long chord and one short chord and a syncope in the measure thereafter, with one short chord and one long chord. Usually, the last chord in a hemiola is a (bi-)dominant, and as such a strong harmony on a weak beat, hence a syncope.
