Ostinato

by Matt Patella, Stu Segal (Compiler), Dave Peterson (Editor)

What is an Ostinato? An Ostinato is a pattern, which repeats itself over and over, not only rhythmically but also sound-wise. This book will teach you to play an “Ostinato” with your hands while playing a changing note pattern with your bass drum foot. As you progress through the book you'll begin to play crisp clearly defined notes with your bass drum foot. Playing a steady rhythm on top and placing the foot where you want, you’ll develop more control of your bass drum and feel the different possibilities of where the notes fall and start to experience major breakthroughs in your bass drum technique. You’ll learn how to develop a placement of the bass drum, be able to place it at will, while playing a steady back beat on the two and four. The book also incorporates the left foot hi-hat.
