The T-I-M-E Drum System

by Paul Gray

Drummers of all abilities can sometimes encounter obstacles to their playing. Beginner drummers may feel overwhelmed by the amount there is to learn, intermediate drummers can sometimes struggle to get going on the drums in practising or performing situations, and advanced players may be looking for ways of adapting what they already know to create more intricate and elaborate rhythmic patterns. By looking at the essential elements of drumming from four perspectives – Technique, Improvisation, Music and Extras (advanced concepts) – the T-I-M-E Drum System will help drummers of all levels. Beginners can work on the Technique, Improvisation and Music sections, learning exercises to get going, how to adapt them to the drums, and great songs to learn to play along to. Intermediate players will take all the Technique sections and link them together to create a warm-up routine which will guarantee they’ll never feel limited at the drums again. Advanced students can concentrate on the Extras sections, learning how to adapt what they already know in more complex ways so that they can play a greater variety of rhythmic ideas. Drummers of all abilities will benefit from working through the T-I-M-E Drum System in its entirety and gain a fully rounded perspective on playing the drums. Paul Gray has enjoyed playing the drums for over thirty years. From extensive experience of practising, performing and teaching, he has devised this unique drum tuition system.
