Book excerpt: A drum beat or drum pattern is a rhythmic pattern, or repeated rhythm establishing the meter and groove through the pulse and subdivision, played on drum kits and other percussion instruments. As such a "beat" consists of multiple drum strokes occurring over multiple musical beats while the term "drumbeat" may also refer to a single drum stroke which may occupy more or less time than the current pulse. Many drum beats define or are characteristic of specific music genres. This is the 2nd volume in a series of books on rhythmic concepts for drummers and all musicians. The books are tools for expanding a musician's rhythmic repertoire for improvisation or composition. Both volumes combine concepts taught to the author by Alan Dawson with South Indian Konnakol syllables, delving deeply into a study of polyrhythms. Volume 1 focused on rhythms with a subdivision of 8th notes, 8th note triplets, and quarter note triplets. Volume 2 focuses on quintuplets (16th note, 8th note, and quarter note).
